Hey just wondering if you guys think these prices are pretty good, also they are all in canadian dollars. $150 for clutch install/rear main seal. And one of the mechanics is gonna sell me 3.55 gears (good condition, low kms on them)for $75 and install for $150. I'd have to buy whatever bearings are needed. These prices are at a GOOD mechanic shoptoo, not a rookie or backyard mechanic.

 

sounds like a good deal... **** the shop i work at... i dont even wanna know what theyd charge u for that work, lol...

 

very good prices. the best i found for the clutch and rear main in miami,fl was $210. i did it myself the second time tho

 

I deliver parts to these guys and bring them slurpees every now and then, so that helps i guess Real nice guys at the shop.

 

Ask yur mech if he would be willing to pull my engine and replace my oil pump. I am pretty close, i live in ga.

 

Ya that a good deal ! shop rate where im from is stupid 110 hour and up and they take there dam time

 

if they are doing something that is listed in a labor book, how long they take doesn't matter. whatever the labor guide calls for, you pay.
if the job calls for 3 hours, and the tech takes 6 hours, you only pay 3. thats how it goes.

custom stuff is another story tho.

 

Ok, what is the current exchange rate to US$?
Last I looked, it was .96 or something so you are not so far off.
Around here the better shops are $75/hour (Tucson,AZ)

 

And vice-versa. If the book calls for 6 hours and it only takes 3 hours you pay 6 hours labor.

 

yup
thats flat rate for ya.

sometimes i love being a flat rate tech.

today, i hated it. stupid cars.
