My prices at a specialist brake and clutch outfit .... prices are in Australian Dollars (each A-dollar is about 80 US cents)
1. 1350kg clamping force cover 5-puck sprung centre clutch plate, includes lightweight flywheel, pilot bush and new slave cylinder - A$1400 including all state and federal taxes plus freight
2. Fitting - remove gearbox, remove dual mass PoS flywheel and old pilot bush, fit new flywheel, pilot bush and clutch, refit box, bleed clutch and road-test - 6.5 hours and A$560 including 1-litre of Motul DOT 5.1 brake fluid. I supplied the new flywheel fasteners because I had them in stock
Total was less than A$2K (about USD 1600 or so)
You are being taken advantage of .......
That said, I have had extensive dealings with my shop over 18 years and the reason I go back is because they do great work at a good price.
Maybe this is a benefit from being in the Southern Hemisphere ??
