Documentation of such?

Benefit to the perps of this type vandalism?

 

I'm not sure what the question is.

Also, frame is done. That is like the foundation of the house. Biggest, most expensive, most important part. What's the point.
Go to loosen a bolt and everything it's attached to disintegrates. Somehow manage to do an oil change to have truck break in half driving away.

The cabin filters don't last over a year. That's why I switched to washable K&N with more air flow as per a rec on here.

Engine filters, you are correct. They do not go bad that fast. No interval needed when it takes 2 minutes to inspect it.

 

In My opinion that estimate screams Rip Off!
Everything on it was WAY Overcharged...

 

OP could very easily look at the labor time.

Book time is generally book time.
Again I'm not saying it's correct, like I said an engine air filter is not due every 10-15k.

but as a mechanic, if a person wants to walk into the shop, log in, and look at book time themselves, there is nothing wrong with that. Very easy.
Not to mention, at any dealership, the labor times themselves are typically literally written down every time.
Also not going to change anything. If book time is 3 hours, 3 hours is 3 hours.
You're either paying another human being (shop) 3 hours to perform a task for you, or you are doing it and not paying. But paying in other ways such as time and tools.
Makes absolutely zero difference what the task is whether it's replacement of a part or performing Wash Laundry, as some folks do (butlers and housemaids)
