What the hell is going on with shops?

Many new car dealerships repair shops are starving to death. I have a retired co-worker fireman that has worked as a Ford tech for over 30 years. When we were firefighters he worked his days off, now that we are retired he works for Jarrett Ford in Plant city full time. I work at a shop that has 2 other techs. We stay covered up with work on 2003-2010 6.0 and 6.4 Ford diesels. When I ask my buddy if they are busy at the dealership? He tells me the shop is down to 4 techs including him! Why? We just took in a 2005 6.0 F-250 that another local Ford dealership quoted $8800.00 for a turbo and 8 injectors and a EGR cooler. When we finished the job for the customer we instaled 2 injectors and a EGR delete kit and cost the customer 1200.00! You can argue overhead, scanners,licences,taxes,blah,blah ,blah all you want and try and justify these insane dealership prices all you want. While we stayed coveredup in work. And yes we are licenced, insured,cerfied repair shop. Excuse me while I go outside and start pulling the cabs on a 08 6.4 with blown head gaskets and a 09 6.4 with a blown motor. We will be making money while you defend your high prices. Got a problem with your Ford diesel? Contact me. There Rant is over.
