You lucky, most make their "beer" money from a 50% write up on the parts, so your deal is a beauty!...

Falcon They go by the hour so type of car isn't really a factor. I have sent different cars in there and its the same. I also get a free courtesy car whilst its there, even if the job is only a couple of hours. Have built a pretty good rapport with them, to the point where they even let me bring my own coolant I have been using them for 8 years now.

I say "melb tax" because that is what my mates up in QLD call it. They always laugh when I tell them how much it is to do a job here.
