Ok i bought a 2000 800 rmk and i brought it home for about a week or two then i brought to get a tune up at a garage about 10 miles from home and on the way to the garage i was traveling through the ditches and i went down into a stream going about 50-60km and hit the snow on the way up i hit a tree and put i good size dent though the body right to the muffler and then i hauled it back from the tree and it started fine then i continued my way to get my sleds tune up and when i brought it there it worked the very best. Then about 3 days later he called and said it was all ready so i left right after and when i got there he said it was 260$ bucks cdn he replaced 3 bulbs 2 in the front and the 1 in the back and he fixed the dent in both the body and muffler and he charged 40$ a hour and he worked 5 hours and got the bulbs for 15$ a peice and he just greased checked everything over. so iam still not sure if i got a good deal or not but when i drove it home it sounded way different and didnt run about hafe as good so he came right to my house and changed the plugs and she worked almost as good as before so i was woundering if i got a good deal or not??

well see..technically what ur mechanic did was more than a tune up. a tune up is a flat rate which under the description says that the machine runs perfect and has no problems. tho if u didn't give him permission to fix the headlamp and what not then u should go to the dealer and ask them to take off the labor fee they charged you for repairing the bulbs.

Are you serious ?? my 15yr old won't turn wrenches that cheap !! most shops charge $80 -$100 an hour. and he did a housecall to change your plugs ta boot !!! If you think thats too expensive you might want to try a different sport !!!
