About 30 minutes :)

I guess I have a good relationship with Borton Volvo. They will look up strange codes in their book, go over the write up with me and explain what I should do to help me help my car. They do get to do major things, like T belt changes and a new altenator for my 850. They do not get to operate on my 164. And they only charged me $25 to put the V70 on a lift and diagnose a non-existant oil leak (from the turbo air tube) and yell at me for not greasing the steering stops!
I get 15% off on all parts, but that is because we have a good relationship. I never try to get something for nothing, but in return I expect a shop to be fair. Borton knows my limited mechanical skills and will let me know if it is something I can fix. I bring in donuts on special occasions and if they are busy, they tell me to go home!
I just have a hard time, when I hear of a simple job, justfying the charges. Small businesses know that to keep customers coming back, you sometimes make allowances for customers they like. And it is up to the customer to find a shop they can trust and like.
