Do those 10-15 minutes include the time spent with the customer, writing up the invoice, diagnosis of the charging system, changing pulleys from the core to the reman unit, cleaning the battery terminals, and checking the charging system when the alternator r&r is done? I didn't think so.


By your comments, a customer should only pay for .25 hours to do a r&r on a inline engine? LOL........
