Cost of Repairs

[lizardsrule]

Well I'm mad and happy all at the same time I took my boat in Monday at about 12pm because I couldn't get it running as some of you know. I got a call wed lat afternon that it was done . I asked the lady who called what was wrong with the boat. She read off the repair order the spark plugs were bad Now I had just repaced the plugs with BRAND NEW plugs bought from Napa. I took the model# into the store, and they looked it up and sold me 4 plugs(2 spares). I then gapped them and intalled them. I even pulled them put and rechecked the gap, and build up if any when I couldn't get it running. I was told by the mechanic that I had to have a specific kind of spark plug due to the engine and it's firing system. Well anyways I took it out yesterday and she ran like a champ Now the other side to this, is when I left it they asked if there was a dollar amount I wanted them to call me with before they fixed it. I of course said yes $100 and I want a call. Well the final bill was $90 + change. I guess I am upset about paying $90 for spark plugs, but happy they figured it out and I have my boat running. I however do fee a little ripped off at the same time. Well I guess I paid for another lesson, with cash I hope reading this will possibly help someone in the future making sure you have the right spark plugs. And go to a Marine dealer, because automotive folks just don't know any of this stuff.
