Crank and cam seals were part of the special, I just paid for the other stuff, part price only, no labor

Nice....

If I'm wrong someone please post a copy of a detailed invoice showing CAM seals were replaced.
I'll infer that your answer implies; yes, that it is an attractive price if the $999 includes timing belt replacement, water pump replacement, crank seal replacement, and cam seals replacement, parts and labor.... Thank you for replying.

Nothing implied whatsoever.
I can't tell if you're looking for an actual answer or you just wish to play childish games. If it's the former you'll have an answer when (if) someone provides an invoice.

Was looking for an actual answer. Respectfully, do not understand how my question may have been any clearer. Sorry now it was asked, as it seems you were offended. Perhaps better if just forgotten....

Which I have done in the past ....I am now old and have little free time and thought it was the best bang for the buck and more cost effective for my old back.. They will of course add whatever additional repairs at the same time for additional cost, like drive belt, cam seals etc. and you are still getting a large discount over their typical price.
I'll happily answer your question but I'd prefer to know the facts first. Exactly what is included for the advertised price. Please reference the post above quoted from the OP.
You'll need to work a lot harder than this to offend...
I will also say that when they rang me up, the base package came in about $100 below the $999, I think they applied it before tax or something instead of after, but the guy just said it's my lucky day so didnt argue, obviously.
from what I remember, it looks like the special was they were essentially backing out the price of parts, and just charging labor, and then the parts I asked them to add were another $200 or so added back on.
This thread ended up getting heated, but I'm happy with the deal I got, and if I find/remember the detailed invoice will try to post a pic!

Wow, if they are doing cam seals and the other little stuff as well for that price it's awesome. Those things are annoying enough that for that price it would temp me to have them just do it for ease of not having to.
