$725? Ouch.. maybe i should take a TV repair course. Does he buy you dinner with that? $300 for labor? Is he watching TV while he does it?

To be fair.. the part probably costs him more than you can get it for online thru his distributors. Its common for us to pay twice what parts cost online. The travel charge is fair. It might seem high but after you total up what it really costs to own, maintain and drive his vehicle hes breaking even. The labor is ridiculous IMO. Should take him an hour tops and theres no way hes worth $350 an hour.
