I'll do them for $50

stealership? ow that hurts hahahahah (but hey it pays the bills)
don't feel too alone though, they screw the techs as much as they do the customers.
We are currently at $103 an hour. I think thats just ridiculous.

oh and fyi, if I was working on your car at the dealer and stripped out those bolts, I wouldn't tack on any extra hours, I'd just do what I needed to do to get them out and take the loss, but then again, thats just me and I like working on the old junk
