I'm from minot and my dad has his VW touareg in for service. Somehow it turned from a 4600$ timing chain job into a 9000$ job because of "sludge" in the motor. I just don't want my dad getting erked around because he isn't a mechanic and he's 4 hours away. If I was there I'd come do a check on it, kind of hard to believe IMO. I just want to know if there is any truth to this. They are talking about having to take out the motor and stuff and something just seems off to me.darkelvis;308080 wrote:
just a wild ass guess since you weren't positive what year **I went with a 2005...labor time on it is 8.0 hrs for timing belt, cam seals, timing drive pulley, timing idler pulley, timing tensioner, and water pump....which at $200/hr labor would be $1600, so either their parts are more rediculous than they have ever been (doubtful) or they are screwing you from the get-go. And now they have added an r/r engine to "de-sludge" it...come on now man. **Tell me what year/engine it is, what all they are doing exactly, and what parts they are replacing and I'll tell you how bad your dad is getting screwed. (i'll even tell you with their labor rate/retail part prices)
IDK man, I DON'T think darkelvis was being a prick at all. In fact, it seems like he was trying to give an alternative quote on what the rates would be to do whatever it is that Valley Imports has stated needs to be done, thereby giving you bargaining power with Valley Imports. YOU however got all pissy with the one guy who actually had anything constructive to add to this whole argument. He then turned around and bitch-slapped you like a $5 whore and made you look like a sally in front of the rest of us.
Shut up, put your tail between your legs and walk away. You are on the losing end of this argument.

I didn't ask darkhomo what the price should be either. I ask for help to see if the problem actually did exist because I am not there to see it myself. Every computer has a calculator on it. Thanks for offering to use yours for me though.

He answered your fucking question for fucks sake. He gave you SOLID advice. Too bad you are way to ignorant/proud to admit that.
If your dad is as dumb as you are, it's not wonder it cost him so much to have his car serviced. I'd charge double for dealing with idiots if I thought I could get away with it too! I'd ban you but its much more fun making you look stupid.
edit: Who is traffic jams? guy sounds like a douche ripping off Trafik Jamz my name like that

holy fuck man. Take a midol and throw in a fucking tampon. Reread what i posted. I was going to give you a legit estimate of what it should cost with their parts/labor prices. Maybe then your dad could go in and say "hey, i've done my research and even at your rates it should only cost $xxx where the hell is this extra $yyy coming from?" how would that have been "nothing to contribute to this thread"?As far as "de-sludging" run a fucking can of motor flush through it and let her buck.
As far as you being a mechanic:
- Changing oil and putting on tires doesn't make you a mechanic
- If you knew a god damned thing about turning wrench then you would have known that they were fucking your dad and you wouldn't have made this thread to begin with
- You must be a pretty good "mechanic" if your own dad would rather take his car to a dealership that is very well known for fucking people than his own kid
- If you were a real "mechanic" then you would know that 90% of the time when a job says you need special tools, it's fucking b.s. And if you don't have it you can probably figure out a way to do the job without it.
So, i was legitimately offering you some help, but your fucking panties were riding a little high in your vagina when you read my post and decided to fucking cry about it, so i guess you can just go ahead and fuck off.
Make sure next time you see your dad you punch him in the dick so he will never be able to create another gem like you.
Oh, and have a nice day.
