[QUOTE="hkhathaj, post: 1459798, member: 16944"] I think that if the guy does a honest good job then he deserves to make good money by servicing cars. It is a man's job and it should be prized with money that makes him able to maintain a family. Yes, it is expensive to finance on your side. I guess the SAAB turbo requires some high level oil and stuff that is expensive itself. If it is too expensive for you then you should consider doing it yourself (and it is good idea for the fun and for the skills you learn) or you should keep a cheaper car. AFAIK the oil for low power naturally aspirated cars is much cheaper. You should check the estimated basic maintenance cost of your car before buying it. That is car ownership 101. If you think it is a rip off then you should ask the car shop to show the price of the parts and work done detailed. Then you can check if you could get the parts cheaper or if you could do the work cheaper. [/QUOTE]
