So truck Drivers (local) who were getting $10 an hour 20 years back are now getting $60, WOW I'm gonna have to get back into driving, Regards Frank.

I didn't pay for it,as it was warranty,but the local Tojo dealer wanted two days to change over a rusty tow bar on one of our work vans.
No thanks,eventually i got them down to having the van for 4 hours,but it was a battle

Austral charged me $350 to change the oil in the D4.It was there anyway,saved taking it to MR,didn't have the time.

I was a fool,should have known,next time i will find the time to get to MR.

I may still have the reciept. I think I did a write up about it.

That would have been an interesting conversation to hear when you went in a told them about it.

this topic reminds me of a saying i've heard and seems applicable to the thread. someone may know where it emanates from.

'a trifling amount on an otherwise exorbitant invoice'.

brett.

I cant find the original post up of it, I'll add it to the book
