I think they charged me like $500 for labor and $800 for the parts or something like that. Toyota dealer, OEM parts, yada, yada yada. I don’t quite remember because it was at least 3 years ago or more. I should dig out the paperwork to remember what the breakdown was. I may be off with the breakdown, but I know the total bill for the days work was $1600.
Cavell…new tran pan, parts and labor like $1,000 combined.
I only go to the dealer$hip for recalls, warranty repair, and OEM parts before there was internet shopping.
I’ve shopped online for nearly everything except car parts.
I needed to buy computer parts, and the Big A I have had trouble telling where it is coming from. Request and pay for express delivery, then 3 to 4 weeks. I tried to return one wrong part to china, tracking etc., sorry once it arrives back in china there is no tracking. At least it was the companies money, not mine.
No I was a primadonna, whatever I wanted I got, whatever I did is not questioned, retired now. Missing my soldering station and fiber optic tools and many $15 grand my guess in connectors and fittings, tester, cleaver, fusion splicer etc. as they did not want me to train anyone in their use and just collecting dust now, Preferring to hire out they are. But giving the candidates hey hired to replace me I can understand, My boss was how about this guy, I was like he could break an anvil with a with a rubber mallet. So he decided to let him make a new cat6 cable run and he broke a 6 strand fiber optic cable. Now I could swing like tarzan on that cable and not have a problem, it is reinforced by kevlar, I don’t recall all the things broken, but he was not a hardware guy and made him a software guy which he did really well at.
Then the front office calls me finally when is our printer going to get fixed, I did not even know it was not working for 2 weeks, go look, crap one is supposed to pull off this strip on the toner cartridge, then life was good.
