I have been a service tech for over forty years. I agree that some shops do charge more than they should for parts and labor. I have seen the parts books and the price you pay and what the company pays. It is outrages what some of thee mark ups are.
There is a major generator company that charges 165.00 dollars for a single push rod.Nothing special about it. I know another OEM that charges 140.00 dollars for a fuel filter assembly.
