However they break it out, $630 is still WAY too much for a brake job and alignment given that NO materials were provided...
That does seem a little high. A lot of this reason is why we carry a few different labor rates depending on the job. Performance/Standard/Electrical and then a Military/Veteran/Civil Service and Standard for each of those 3 categories. Like was mentioned by FFP, things like all data are useful for their breakouts and to use as a guideline to determine how long something should take, but it isn't gospel. Keeping in mind of course, that some times the clock can swing the other direction as well due to custom setups and parts.

Mike that is a good idea. I should have a motor in the evo I need to sell and would be perfect to test drive it. Perhaps the first of October sometime?

I said BEFORE it gets too cold... Weather's definitely getting nice now, but time flies, so it will be winter before we know it.

Any ideas for a meet? Doesn't have to be anything big, maybe just lunch somewhere, like the good ol' days. It'd be nice if we can get that Electron Bom guy to come out as well to talk about what he's doing with his electric Evo build...

That could work. If anyone's got any ideas, I'm open. We could always do a nostalgia meet and crash Ale House at Cary Crossroads...

Anyone in the Raleigh area need some Amsoil products? I'm putting in an order for a couple cases for the wife's car & myself. I can add some stuff on the order & you can come pick it up. I think I've mentioned it on here before but I have an Amsoil Dealer Acct.
