    This guys story about getting quoted 300 pound to change an alterntor that takes 15 min is the absolute norm with nearly everything, I learnt this being quoted $370 for a faulty fan in a fridge, ordered the part for $50 and installed it in half an hour or so. Now I look up how to do anything first to see how difficult it is so even if I dont do it myself I know if someone is taking me for a ride.
