Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I dropped my neighbors blower off at the dealer last week and they finally called today with an estimate. First off they want 105.00 to install chains on the snow blower! WTF? Are the platinum?

Secondly the "drive rod" is popped out of the bracket and is also chewed up. The "hub" mite be damaged as well but we will not know until the bracket and rod are back into place. Also someting wrong with the chute that needs to be reworked as well did I mention the skid shoes are totally worn!

435.00 plus tax! WTF!

They just wanted to sell you another blower.  You think that is crazy, I tried to get my car through emissions. It had 3 codes. The dealer wanted to charge me $4500 to fix it. saying i need a new converter 4 oxygen sensors, my intake remove and cleaned ect.The car is only worth $400. I got a can of BMG injector cleaner $20- and replaced 1 oxygen sensor and was good to go.

You would never need 4 oxygen sensors replaced at the same time.  One or maybe two at most, but it is a great way for the repair people to make extra money.
