[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think sometimes a mechanic’s diagnostic fee makes sense like if it’s an issue that requires troubleshooting. If it is a straightforward repair, like replace brakes or do scheduled maintenance, then no. What I’m not crazy about is paying for retrieving an OBD code. There shouldn’t be a charge for that if I can get it done free at Autozone. The repair of that code is different though. [/quote] Anyone can retrieve an obd code, no skills required and the reader is $15. It is the matter of the opportunity cost of mechanics time. It is more than the autozones sale person[/quote] Mechanics may be paid hourly, but the customer is billed by the book. There should be no charge for retrieving the code. Like you said, it’s easy. Plus they can do it while the oil is draining from my pan. [/quote]
