What did you do with your Z today III

onzedge · 05-02-2012, 08:35 AM

Cut and paste fail -- I just repped Mr. Happy and JAR with Tracie's name only. OOPS.

Talk about taking advantage of you. Wow.

CBE install should be ~125 tops.

It is maybe an hour to an hour and a half job.

$400 is highway robbery! I would do it for you if I lived closer to you.

I'm thinking maybe it's because I'm a girl. Less inclined to know what the going rates are or what type of work is actually needed and done. What sucks most is that this shop was my most trusted. Oh well, the search continues...........

Yep. For a CBE install it should be 1 to 1.5 hours of labor, if that. If someone quotes you otherwise call BS (and don't give them your business as they are dishonest).

ZOMG!!

They're totally screwing you with that estimate. Do not proceed! Going elsewhere is in your best interest.

If another shop gives you estimate remotely that high, just laugh in their face and tell them your 8 year old baby sister could do the install in the time it would take them to rack up $400 for the install.

Call Meineke in Pflugerville, ask for Josh, and tell him Dwayne from Dave's Ultimate Automotive referred you. They should give you a reasonable price - way better than $400 I hope
