i went to the courtesy parts site and came up with $5,000 in parts not including electrical stuff and the driver side tire (i couldnt find the price but im assuming an extra $300 bucks). plus labor, paint and all that will probably hit almost $8-10k with miscellaneous parts. maybe another $1-2k on rental costs. I'm being very optimistic. lol.
tomorrow im going to an independent shop. i have a good relationship with the owner so i think the estimate will be extremely thorough and high compared to a quick basic walkthrough.
im also going to a place where an infiniti dealer sends their cars. i went to that shops site and they also do jag, volvo, land rover, for the same dealer chain. im going to check them out too.
i'll also research lambo/ferrari dealers to see where they send their customers and see what they say. i'll check out all three shops' work and see which one i'll go with.
you guys think this is a good plan? should i use another strategy to find a good shop??
