  Wait, are you supporting the fairness and accuracy of the Mitchell time estimate or are you saying it is wrong. NO WAY ON EARTH!?!?!!?!!!!!!! Can you exaggerate a little more please. That wasn;t quite out of this world.

It's just the way it is Benny.

It's the bear eating or getting eaten thing. ( I did enjoy Jim's analogy, never heard it put quite that way )

  <<If  that time is accepted by many in the industry, then it stands to reason that it must be reasonable. Otherwise, these shops would no longer be in business, right? If the customer hired a shop who can't do the job in the prescribed time, the customer needs to evaluate the hourly cost of that shop time.>>

It's just the industry standard of how things are chaged, and I don't have a clue who comes up with some of the rediculas times, be it good, bad, or indifferent for whoever.   <<In my line of work,>>

Now were getting somewhere.

Which Line are you talking about today?

  << You best try walking the walk prior to talking the talk. You don't have a clue.>>   That is just mean spirited, Ricky de Cardo. Leave Chris G. alone. He's my buddy and he is selling me his Syncro Westy for $6,001.

Not at all. It's a wakeup call for those who may be a taking a nap, and may really believe that book time is a rip off. It can work both ways.

Now you have just unloaded your real motive here Benny.

Your the mean spirited one here BT, taking advantage of poor Cris just because of a bad blue book reading, or maybe just a blind, crippled, and crazy sales person.

Your Bad.
