How sick does a parrot get?
Geez! Sounds like a real racket there!=20
I haven't had any problems with the Chevy dealers with my truck. Of =
course, I don't need a "tune-up" for 100k supposedly, and it's all been =
warranty work...
Hmm...Jeep, Neon...is there a Mopar (do they still call it MOPAR?) thing =
here?
What kind of car is this worth $62 an hour, Mike?
Any similar experiences with GM dealer service out there?
If that's what they're charging for simple work, screw 'em! I'll do it =
myself or let Billy Joe and Bubba handle the tough stuff.=20
The "big" service check on my '92 BMW 325is cost about $200 in '95, and =
they went through everything (at least the computer did)! This was under =
warranty, but so is your Chrysler-made Neon.=20
My sympathies...maybe this is how they pay for that fabulous 10 year =
warranty?

Try $62 an hour!! - I got the final bill, $789.74 I wont bore you with
all the details but i shall be writing a fairly stiff letter - they
charged me nine hours labour - the car wasnt THERE 9 hours! (and i asked
if more than one guy worked on it - they fell into the trap,it WAS one
guy!)
Heres a couple of howlers -=20
Half an hour to change a coil
1 hour to change a belt (the belt itself is $46!)
and so on............
Oh - and they left me a note that the driveline fluids need changing =
soon
-=20
estimate $239
Im as sick as a parrot...................................
