• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Orlando - Local independent Mechanic for Can Am Spyders

Does anyone know of any mechanics that work on Spyder's in Orlando. The shop labor rates in our local dealers are getting very high ($130) and now they are adding other costs like $25 shop supplies. I'm coming up on 13K miles and I know I will need rear tire, Pads and oil change. Even if I buy all the parts my self the local shops is going to charge me 3.5 hours for the work ($130 * 3.5 hrs) close to $500 in labor.

If anyone know of a local Can Am let me know.

If you are willing to drive to Melbourne, I can give you the names of two shops that work on Spyders at $70.00/hr.
 
$70/$80 per hour is reasonable, however, $130 per hour + supplies is because you are a spyder owner. In addition, you have to factor in rapidly increasing inflation.

Many years ago I was working for Yamaha when they raised the labor rate (overnight) from $25.00 to $100.00 per hour. Greed and profit will always triumph quality work and customer service.
