Re: EPC error
It would be nic e if you restricted your posts to topics where you actually have intimate knowledge.
A "list price" is nothing more than a suggested retail price. The actual or final charge is determined by the selling dealer (as in any business) and is dependent upon many factors. A larger delaer may be able to sell parts below list price, whereas a smaller dealer may have to charge a percentage above list price.
In the free market system, a business is able to charge whatever they feel is necessary or fair in order to stay in business.
Joe Blow can put brakes, rotors, pads or MAF sensors on for you, but is he insured if you have a problem? What is his warranty? If he scratches your fender while working on the car (a common customer ploy - gouging on the dealer or repair facility) will he paint it or repair it? Does he have a loaner car or can he arrange alternate transportation for you?
What happens if the brake job fails and the vehicle meets an immovable object?
I engage in customer discrimination: when I see a guy like you, I am always too busy. Always too busy to work for an alligator, and people who only have broken cars.
I prefer to work for my customers, people who appreciate what is done, are thankful and cheerfully pay the bill on a prior, agreed-upon price. |
