Subject:Need your input - questionable mechanic (long)

I had to do this recently on a road trip to Utah (read:  disgruntled
girlfriend, what with Moby's other recent rounds of mis-behaviour).

The mechanic said the book value was 4 hours for this job.

Yikes!  $500cdn for an $80 driveway job.

I know it didn't take 4 hours to do, & they did a miserable job of bleeding
the coolant, but at least we kept rolling...
