Just Got My Son (MM) out the shop

[davegreen]

So i had took my marauder to the dealership last week, becasue of an over heating problem:mad2:, and my whole air unit was out:(,but luckly i got it into the shop, So i had to get a new Thermostat $237.50 :shake:, HVAC HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING $68.70, REPLACE BLOWER SPEED CONTROL,, FUEL FLITER REPLACE $47.50,, THAN WHOLE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANER $114.95:shake:, I thought everything would be under 300, but LABOR kills the bill, $783.54 total,
well im just glad my marauder is doing better and running alot better and faster, not bad with only 58,483 miles:)

when i read that the first time, i thought you meant you payed 237.50 for a thermostat. like a 180* thermostat, rather than an HVAC. LOL. i guess an HVAC thermostat costs a little more than the other.

o naw lol, the thermostat only was 15 bucks but labor was 252

Labor for cooling system thermostat is only .9 hours. Assuming the dealer rate is about $110.00 per hour it sounds like their is something wrong.

17 with a marauder, he has to be the coolest dude in school, unless one of the rich kids have a bmw or benz. There is always 1 or 2 of those in every school

BMW or benz's are a dime a dozen.....

Check with us next time - we could save you some money. Nothing the dealer did was really that hard. Congrats on getting it fixed though!

Yep, if you are comfortable turning wrenches you could have done all of it yourself....

F'Sho S'Sho! I feel I have saved thousands over my 10 years of driving by doing much of the work myself!

Thanks alot, I have an Auto body class in school but they dont teach me how to work on the engine just body work

Dude, if you want your money to last, you GOTTA learn to DIY.

That "whole system fuel cleaner" was a major scam. The rest you could have done yourself in a couple of hours tops, for about $100.

^^+1. Your young, better start learning now so it sticks with you for life.
