... if ya bring your own parts? Sheesh. My time ain't worth that much! Am I just getting a bad quote, 'cause everyone else seems to love 'em.

Anyone got a rear caliper tool I can borrow?

I have used them in the past and have been pretty satisfied, but something has changed. They wanted to mark up their labor by 40% because I was providing the parts. So my $800 job became $1100. Also their quote on a clutch was way high.($1500 on a A4).

He'll come over to your place and do it for you anytime you want.

..I'd like his number too. Thanks

He has done timing belts to changing clutches to turbo installs.

Do you consider that bigger jobs? He has good numbers and normally changes 1/2 on the labor and gives you wholesale price on parts. If you call him, tell him Jason sent ya. He will take care of you and do work on spot.
