paid a mechanic, help with invoice
Hoping to get some feedback as to whether or not work done on my '04 D2 was fair. Some things I'm questioning:
-2.7 hrs upper intake plenum install?
-Seems as though they double charged me for both a transfer case and transmission fluid exchange.
they used Mitex brand brake pads- any good?

Yeah with your VIN#, phone number and name and address posted on the internet I hope you have Lifelock or something.
$55/hr is cheap labor, so they are going to charge you more for parts and bill you for more time.
$16 for a oil filter sounds about right, they paid $3 for it and charge you $16, thats normal.
This was a Rover shop wasnt it?

Can't comment about the rest, finding and choosing a mechanic is trial and error and "caveat emptor" (let the buyer beware) always applies...but I agree that $55/hr is the lowest labor rate I've seen in very long time.
I've got a decent independent mechanic, an Italian guy that specializes in Ferrari's, Alfa's etc... but has carved out a reputation with Land Rovers as well and he drives a Discovery II -- so he shares our love and our pain! He charges $120/hour. But to be honest, I've saved a lot since finding him because he is incredibly honest and only fixes what needs to be done and applies a lower variable rate for simple tasks.
Good luck!
