Good Deal or not?

[topless]

I took truck (POS Chevy) to find out why it was only running on 7 cylinders. I thought it was a plug. It actually needed a valve job. The guy changed all the fluids, new plugs and wires, entire valve job..,new o2 censor, air filter, He harged me $740. Is that a good deal?

Did you actually see the motor parts that failed ? A good mechanic will show you the old parts and the damage done , Your truck may have been a PIA and "time is $$$$" You spent alot , I hope on work not BS ...... Moo

what year truck?.. and what size motor?

My truck has 454 in it. It is an 89 Chevy dually. He did put parts in the bed of the truck. He thought that the valve might have ruined one of the pistons but it turned out to be OK. I haven't actually picked it up yet. I'm gettinng it tomorrow. I really don't thinkhe would rip me off.

Looks like it is about average:( or better

When I was a service writer you would have paid more than that! I think you got an excellent deal!

Looks like a great deal if you ask me.

No, that does not sound bad to pull a head, etc....he could have
hung you out for a lot more.

If you'd had that work done at the Dealer I bet it'd have been $2K easily. If he did all he told you he did, I don't think it was a bad deal at all.

$740.00 for all that, you got a smokin' deal.....give him a kiss when you pick up the truck.
