Have to know something about these buggies seeing as how you sell them.
Funny you think price gets you experienced wrench turners. My previous dealership charged well over that and should you meet some of guys in the shop, you wouldn't come back. The price is usually set by the market and the company it partnered with(Polaris, Kawasaki, etc). If you were lucky and got me or one of a handful of other guys, you can justify the labor rate, but most likely, since it was not a polaris, they probably gave it to the guy that changes oil and tires.
