Well instead of doing the CV boot job myself I decided to take my AC to the "honest" dealer. Well there were other problems along the way, both rear CV boots on the one side had to be replaced, the air box was removed and dried (without being asked for), the front diff oil was changed and a general check of the ATV (not asked for). Anyway the total labor cost was $192.50 for 3.5 hours!! $55 and hour!!
Also the dealer charged me $20 for a special order charge due to the fact I bought a rear skid plate at another dealer after I asked them to order one. A $35 part and I had to pay them 2/3s of the price even though it had been on order for 3 weeks. Who won't go somewhere else? Oh, yea they tried to charge me $2 for a tail light bulb that should be covered under warranty. On top of all this I was given an attitude by the owners, I just want everybody to know that even if a dealer is nice when buying the wheeler they can change afterwards. That is the very last time I deal with them!!!!!!!!

 

Hey, I live in Maine also. Whats the name of your dealer? So I can avoid them. They sound like ones to miss.

I don't want to come right out and say who the dinks are (DM) but they are located in near Damariscotta. The worst thing is that I bragged them up after buying my AC. Turns out it was all a snow job. Too bad from them since I'm considering buying a 500i, sooner then I thought.
Now, I'm planning on performing all the repairs and maintenance issues myself. Hope you have better luck with your local dealer.
