I don't use Jeff anymore because of that reason. He know's he's the only provider around Groton of our type of needs (gears, axles, lifts...), and he takes advantage of it. I only use him in emergencies, and then I cringe before I get the bill. I told Pete he needs to move shop down to Norwich. He know's he misses out on a lot of business because of his location. He would have charged $20 and 20 minutes to do those shafts.
To put it in perspective... When my Tom Woods drive shaft broke down, Jeff had it repaired for $400 dollars!!! I could have bought a brand new Tom Woods for less than that! And, to top it off, it broke down again a month later...
