Great post, good to hear you got it taken care of. Good Customer Service is hard to find these days, it's about money & greed to many businesses.

Hi. Glad you got things taken care of. I wish I could make $100 an hour or get
$200 for adjusting valves. I've adjusted them for a LOT LE$$ as I'm sure many
mechanics on here have done also! Shops around these parts in East TN get
around $40/HR. I'm a Shadetree and mostly do work to help family and friends,
neighbors, etc. I can't see why a company like that would want to rip people off
when there's enough "Honest Work" to keep a place hopping? When I worked for
SEARS, I had more than enough to work and rarely caught up on it as we were
backed up 2 weeks or more in the shop and that much again in the field.
