[s-cars] DC area wrench

[Tihol Tiholov]

> I don't see 700 as being that far afield. The wrench gets $35 per hour,
the
shop has to cover FICA, FUDA, etc. Which adds about $10.  Then there's
rent, heat , specialty tools.

> It took me more th an a day to accomplish the same on my
200 TQA.....with specialty tools I had to rent for $25....

Might you be thinking of a t-belt job rather than serpentine?

And re: Chis Semple vs. the troll
I have an indirect very positive experience. He sent a 100q rear diff to
someone I know here, in far western Canada, 400 mi. north of WA state, at
such a good price, the recipient was pleasantly surprised and even
inquired. Chris responded that he considered the high shipping costs and
lowered the item's price accordingly. Never heard or seen such
customer-favoring business practice. All this badmouthing of Force5 is
without base, apart from its low motivation.
