[Shotimes] Slippery SHO Service

[Mark Mucher]

I don't THINK so! <G>

$75 for the parts sounds about right - all the labor should have been
covered in the water pump replacement.

Maybe the V belt was the other $225 - they are RARE on SHOs...

You sent this only to me. I am forwarding to the list.

$300 sounds about right (a rip-off) for replacing the other belts though.

Hmmm... invoice is not itemized. Maybe I never did pay for them? Got a call
out to the service manager.
He has'nt returned it yet. Invoice has code I don't understand. Parts are
listed with a designation FMC & SPO? Anyone know what that means? Thanks
Paul.
