$235.50 for a tune-up? They said Chevys are more difficult/expensive to tune-up.
Holy crap! This was expensive.
I had never changed the air filter. So yeah, I guess that was due for a change. They said there was gas in the oil so the oil needed to be changed. I had changed the oil last year and used synthetic oil so ordinarily I would be good for another year But... okay.
They said the gas smelled bad. Like it was old. I last filled the tank the end of October after I hauled the calves to the auction. So the gas wasn't that old.
But - seriously?! - adding washer fluid? I could have done without that. That seems to be padding the bill somewhat.
Everything adds up. I am out $623.08. But I now have a running pickup.
They couldn't believe my 18 year old pickup only has 30,755 miles on it. But it does. It is pretty much just a farm truck.

Wow, i looked at my parts supplier and they raped you. All parts would have cost you around 100 dollars at rock auto.com. Chevy trucks, especially with just a v6 are easy to work on.
Darrell, I am getting that feeling too. Today I spoke with one guy who had helped me initially. He felt the "gas in the oil" may only be a very little amount as a result of us trying to use a touch of gas to start the engine in case the problem was with the fuel pump. The shop apparently moved to a new building a few months ago and *maybe* they need extra money.
