Prevost Repair & Maintenance Costs

[davidbrady]

Thanks Chuck,

Yes, without question. They know exactly what a level-3 is but in fact they do more. They also add in inspection of the sliding brake calipers, sliding pins and rubber boots, rotor condition, drive shaft yokes, suspension bushings, tie-rod ends, sway bar bushings, and all other bushings such as radiator support bushings.

Look at my receipts below, one from Richmond BC, and one from Goodlettesville, TN, both Level-2 services. Richmond charged 0.8 hours of labor and Goodlettesville charged 1.7 hours. The waters over the dam now but had I looked back then I would have asked why double the time at Goodlettesville.

Chuck, your added Level-3 items can't take an additional 2.5 hours can they? Unless they were slowed down by a complication, but in that case I believe you would know.

Compare the cost of transynd fluid and filter swap between Burke and Richmond. Burke: $582 including 1 hour labor, Richmond: $945 including 3 hours labor; the fluid is $105 more expensive at Prevost, but the filters are $25 cheaper. Why the additional labor? I don't know. I have to say, we need to watch Prevost and compare new charges with old receipts for fairness. There's nothing wrong with disputing a charge.
