Hey cb7tuner, some time ago I got a new rack and pinion and two new tires. I got them both done at different places. After I went and got two new tires for the front of the car, the mechanic told me in order to do an alignment I needed to have both my tie rods replaced. I knew this, but forgot before hand to do the job. So out of curiosity I asked for a quote for the tie rod replacement, and something had me a bit confused.
Now, I know having someone else do your work will always cost quite a bit, but I just needed some clarificaition on something:
What does that mean? I was just going over the invoice as I was getting my papers together. Where it says 10TH hour labor, it says "price each" $9.90, and in the "extended" section iy says $118. The QTY is 12. I took the assumption that meant they were charging $9 an hour for labor for 12 hours which would have cost me $118 for the labor. Nothing else on that invoice says labor but that part.
I wanted to know, is TH hour labor some sort of terminology or special math they have set up for mechanics? Either way, I went home and did it myself. Paid $25 for each rod and did my own labor with the help of my father. Other wise that tie rod job would have cost me $278.78.
