[QUOTE=The repair costs were absolutely ridiculous:
Pump motor $600,
Seal $25.00
Installation labor $125.00
Fuel Surcharge $15
TOTAL $765.00
(can you believe those numbers? I priced the motor cost on Google and highest was $400+ and labor for 1-hour $125 (lawyers charge less) and Fuel Surcharge.
I want any company that does work for me to make a profit, but not make a profit only solely me.
I would list the name of the repair company but that would be unPatriotic.

The fuel surcharge seems high. If the price of gas went up by $2 that would mean they used 7 gals of gas to service your job. I replaced the pump on our commercial sized pool last winter and the cost was $200 for the pump, so a $600 pump seems high. Labor and seal cost seem appropriate.
