Nope, that's about right for the stealership pricing... 200~500% markup on everything. But hey, you said it yourself - your local shade tree mechanics all drag knuckles like some arborial species of simmian. So this may indeed be your only safe bet to getting the job done right, and with a warranty. The price you pay for *hopefully* competent aid.

LOL you got that right. I just hope they don't find something else wrong with it.

Remember those old AAMCO commercials with 3 or 4 monkies around a transmission, beating on it with whiffle-ball bats? For some reason that came to mind when you mentioned how "Good" your mechanical support was in your neck of the woods. I guess we all have shops/experiences like that at some point. Mine was some quack trying to sell me a $300 engine part when a $2 spark plug wire fixed the problem.

Remember that one commercial With the three fat mechanic's sitting on the hood of some guy's car eating lunch and the shop owner is on the phone with the car owner and tells him, "I got my three best guy's on it now" Could be a repair shop somewhere in Ky? LOL LOL

[wolfox]

Naw, that one slipped me by. I haven't watched a stitch of TV in over 4 years now. Or if it's old, I don't remember it... Suddenly, I have so many chores done around the house. Eerie, that.

Oooooooo K....got the blazer back today with a new distributor and spider injectors ($647.22) and I asked if they drove the heck out of it and made sure it was fixed and they said yes. On the way home, I went to turn onto my road and applied the brakes and it stalled. Everytime I slow down it tries to die, then revs back up. I am soooooooooo frustrated !!!!!!!!!! Any other ideas anyone ?????

Take it back to them and demand they fix the problem for free.

We had it towed back to the chevy dealer and they called this morning and said the computer was bad. The original and the one I got from a salvage yard and it needed anew one. I told them to go ahead and fix it which they did for another $431.23. We picked it up, drove home 6 miles, turned it off, and then tried to start it again and NOTHING !!!!!!! Iys doing exactly what it did to start with !!!!!! I am soooooo PO'd. If its not the distributor, the spider injectors, the fuel pump which have all been replaced, what else could it be???????

Coil could be defective.

Got the Blazer back again Yesterday. They put a new ignition switch in it. They gave me a Lumina to drive while they were working on it this time. Shoulda gave me a loaner all along. They did not charge me this time. My son went to drive it to work this morning and guess what ???? It wont start !!!! So the tow truck just left for the 4th time. I am going to file a complaint with the BBB, and demand all my money back for all the unnecessary work they did. They tried to tell me that even though it didnt fix the problem, all that other stuff WAS bad and needed replaced, so I am sure it is a losing battle trying to get my money back. I should have stopped payment on the check.

Frustrated in Kentucky

[recncru1]

have you replaced the oil pressure sensor or fuel pump relay?

[BlazerLT]

Get your money back for all of this.

You don't pay for their hit and miss trouble shooting.

They are just aimlessly replacing parts and you are footing the bill for the idiots.

Talk to the manager and talk to the dealer owner and then talk to GM's headquarters.

Rattle the HELL outa their chain.

Don't take one whiff of crap from them.

[kycowgirl]

1995 Blazer 4x4.....

NewSpider Injectors & Nut Kit
