Most dealerships usually have one of the 8-10 techs that's competent on early Q.

Home techs are usually $50 per hour, independent shops $70-$85, and dealerships $100-$120 but then again repairs are less than 10 hours and maintenance say 5 per year.

The major problem is developing a written test to determine the technical trustworthiness of the technican you might use.

No there aren't any. No one in that state up north deserves to touch a Q45. They're all second class citizens.

Go Buckeyes!

But in all seriousness, Wes is a great resource to use if available.

Yeah I actually would rather diagnose problems than actually turn wrenches... I am way too meticulous when it comes to turning wrenches and it takes me about 2x longer than it should fo rmost jobs, BUT i dont break anything...

At any rate, im in Angola, IN (basically where I69 and the toll road meet).. I think about 2 hours from you.

if you are free some afternoon, be it weekend or weekday let me know.. If you come to my place I can accommodate your schedule.. Theres a good chance I'll hook you up if all I get to do is find the problem.
