I agree with the rest. In NJ, IIRC work can only be 10-15% over an estimate.

Would that be the Denver dealer or does "milehigh" refer to afterhours activities?

Shouldn't it be about 6 hours labor and 300 to 500 in parts? This sounds crazy.

Default $1000 Canadian + tax for the parts and labor at my indie for my 2001 4.2
They did a great job too. Eurotech on Belvia in Toronto, if anyone is interested.
