Naw, it's just that the chain saw tech's cost of living is just as high as the Porshe tech's......
Hell, if I had it to do over again, I would have gotten into boat motor repair!!!!
When I lived on Beaver Lake @ 10 years ago, a neighbor had a problem with his pontoon boat motor, I came down, looked at it, said it needed a head gasket. The only way that I would do it is if he limped it to the boat dock and put it on a trailer and brought it to me. He, being a neighbor, didn't want to spend any more than he had to, so I gave him a few local kid's phone numbers, as I explained that they would either have to lean over and work on it upside down, or else hop in the lake and work on it that way, and I am to old and fat to really want to do that.
So I left him to it, with the numbers and all, ran into him a few weeks later, asked him about it.
"Man........! I called the local boat dealer, told him that you said it needed a head gasket, he sent a kid out that afternoon", he said....
"I stopped in the next day to pay the bill, it was over $1,200 !!!!"
I couldn't stop laughing, said that I would have done it for under $100 or less, but didn't want to hear you whine about me overcharging you
the rest of our lives!!!!!!!!!
Literally, that head had 10-12 bolts, maybe a 20 minute job, even was pre-diagnosed for them!!!!!
