    I don’t subscribe to shopping competitors because our prices are set off our costs, not the guy down the street.  We are a transmission specialty shop and next to 16 new and used dealers.  We were either the same price as the dealer or higher.

    Customers would come into our shop after visiting the dealer and want us to do the work because they felt they were getting more bang for the buck due to our 5 Yr./100K mile warranty.  I felt if I was pricing our work off the competition, we would not be profitable at best, or out of business at worst.  We were much higher than other independent shops and had more work than we could handle.

    Of course, GR is a different animal, but even if we did perform General Repairs, I would still be pricing off of our costs.
