Good Morning all! Excuse me while I - Just got a $400+ estimate to install the CBE!
$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).
