Cdizzle Posted July 3, 2007 Report Posted July 3, 2007 Yeah, just take it to someone... That way it something goes wrong you can blame it on them and not cuss yourself later. Quote Damn Thiefs
Coolwazabi Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Posted July 3, 2007 thats what i was gonna do in the first place... now again... if $1500 reasonable ? Quote
Derrick824 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Posted July 4, 2007 No, $1500 is not reasonable. If you were closer I'd do it for a fraction of that. Quote
Coolwazabi Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Posted July 4, 2007 No, $1500 is not reasonable. If you were closer I'd do it for a fraction of that. so whats a reasonable rate ? i'm gonna do it... but i don't wanna get ripped off and don't wanna lowball people either.. Quote
white_boi_audio Posted July 4, 2007 Report Posted July 4, 2007 (edited) Well dude my dad is a mechanic and he said that was high he said he did it for 300 like twenty years ago but he said probably now its like 500, 600 dollars(not really sure though but not 1500$), Also look around and ask some poeple if they know people that do mechanic work on the side like at there house and get some estimates and you might could look in the phone book for mobile mechanics that come to you.

Derrick824 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Posted July 4, 2007 Someone should be able to pull it in half a day (4hrs) and reinstall it in another half a day. Thats 8hrs of work and the current average labor rate here is $65/hr so $65x8=$520. Thats just for the labor involved in pulling and replacing the engine. Quote
Coolwazabi Posted July 4, 2007 Author Report Posted July 4, 2007 .... i'll pay u $750 if you come here derrick ! and give u a BL Quote
Derrick824 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Posted July 4, 2007 ....i'll pay u $750 if you come here derrick ! and give u a BL Then I wouldn't have any tools. Keep "shopping" around. You'll find someone with more reasonable rates. Quote
