There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

What would you consider an appropriate charge for a full service shop to charge? I will admit $400 is more than we charge but I am willing to bet the dealer's labor rate is higher than mine as well. And when you answer, tell us how you come up with that cost.

Retail on the BRP Oil Change kit is now $209.99 and it's 1.5 hrs labor no matter how you slice it to do the full job. Yes, bulk oil and parts are a bit cheaper, but let's see your numbers.

I'm looking at the full BRP kit sitting in my Amazon cart right now.

BRP 9779484 Spyder 5W-40 Full Synthetic Oil Change Kit Rotax 1330 Engine $140 (free shipping), $127 at Partzilla ($15 for shipping).
