No question that some jobs there are no book hours for. The thing is the jobs that were billed at criminal numbers of hours were not subjective jobs like the sagging vinyl you did. 26 frigging hours to remove the old flywheel and clutch. I am not kidding you when I say I could do it blind folded in a tiny fraction of that amount of time. I'll ask again, what did they do for the other 25 hours?
