What am I supposed to do, talk bad because he charges over twice what I pay for a basic clean and mag? That's the shop owners decision/right to, just like it's yours to base your choice on that shops pricing alone.
All machine shops would love to charge a lot of they could, some can.. If you talk with some of them...they'll tell you how a mechanic with a $4000 dollar tool box takes $110 or so an hr...so why should a machinist with 60k in machines charge less?
That's how you end up with 125 mag tests... What I say to that ..is..go have the "machinist" diagnostic my electrical in my Mercedes then....have him rebuild my transmission...and they stfu and give a crooked smile at me. Look.. At this point it's not rocket science ,and selling the service end short just because they're toy box is smaller or less expensive is a very retarded and egotistical way to look at it.
The same motherfucker who told me that line...also is in the process of distributing his own instructional software so that any dipshit can run the machine, step by step setup and production....now do ya think that dipshit is getting paid 110...? More exploiting of both ends, customer and the operator in a big shop.
All that said...I could care less, none of my business, I go elsewhere. I'm fine with old rottler,neway,sunnen etc..
Best of luck in your ventures. I'm sure it'll all work out.
