[QUOTE="4play, post: 1595385, member: 7223"] I cant see them charging more than 3hrs for a rad and therm and thats with a little bit of time added. Maybe another hour for diag and 1 more hour for A/C check and possible partial charge. That would be 5 hrs total @ lets say 80hr = $400. Radiator $250, thermostat and seal $20, coolant $40. Refrigerant for A/C (maybe?) $25. Shop supplies/hazard waste disposal charge??? Anyway I bloated a few of those prices but in reality not by much and I only guessed the labor rate too. If you took my prices above (which are a little high) they total over 700 and thats without taxes, surcharges for supplies or waste disposal. Did they charge you anything for the A/C check? Sorry you feel "had" but really if you add all of the stuff up, everything together, they might not be too far off on what a typical charge would be anywhere else. I am not sticking up for Pep Boys and I would never take my vehicles there either. Sure you found a cheaper part online, but they dont jump online and google search for the cheapest parts available. they probably found one locally to get you back on the road asap. Is this the truck with all that add-on electrical equipment? Maybe they had to add more time to access/move some of that equipment for repairs? [/QUOTE]
