It's not that you aren't finding the best deal, they are just taking advantage of you not knowing and eating the profit after overcharging (poor business practice..?)

Labor rate is normal for Atlanta sure, but not the hour quotes. We are not talking dealer shop manual rates (which are different story that we prob ought not get into where quoted rates are charged DESPITE how long it may take to get the job done). I like knowing that if I am paying good money to get something done, I am paying for what gets done, not what a book SAYS it needs to be done. I have that confidence at my shop, which remains unnamed here. Do you?

And yes, the quote WITH the rate hike is 24 days prior to when HKS implemented it so yes they are "detecting" upcoming rates and charging a month in advance or they are holding onto part installs for a month to get a higher rate. Re-read the posts SPOHN.
