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.
Anybody got some suggestions? Please?

It is to be expected- maintenance and repairs of a pool are costly and never ending. Did your pool service company have any companies to recommend? Did you contact the company that installed the pool ?
Most companies to stay in business, at least double the mark up on supplies they use or supply- so a $200 mark up doesn’t seem bad. And with the skyrocketing cost of salaries, benefits, gas and
insurance- $125/hour more than reasonable.
