Let's get serious

[Curt Sprenger]

Mike, I'll step up.

Our local big rig shops in S. Cal. get $110/hr labor rate, with no estimate
up front on hours to do the work. This seems fair to me as no two units are
the same, and our coaches are an unknown to these shops or any shop for that
matter. I have paid that rate a couple times because I do not have the tools
to do the job. The tools would cost about three times the labor invoice I
paid so I felt pretty good about the deals. And they did the job right the
first time. I'm driving a 1987 coach, 21 years old, a wonderful coach, I
like it, and I plan to keep it because of it's quality, character, etc., and
if I can't fix the problems and a local shop can, that makes me a happy
camper. I welcome CCW to take on the repair work. I'll pay the invoice.
