Stillen CBE Just Arrived - Dealer or Elsewhere Install?
 

I'm from a small town and don't have any shops near me that do much of this, so I see my best option being the Nissan dealer. You think that's the right move or should I just try to install myself? Any thought/input on this would be great.

I called and got three different install estimates from dealers:

1. $73
2. $188
3. $150-$250

The first one seems a bit cheap, but I'm not going to complain (or I'll just get a bigger bill when I pick it up).

If you can get the car up on jack stands a CBE install is very easy to DIY.

Otherwise, take it to any shop. On a lift it shouldn't take any more than an hour, so $73 is pretty reasonable.

The dealer can handle the install.

We do a ton of CBE installs, but we're basically at an hour of labor. Not uncommon for dealers to have their hourly rate at ~$150.. to put it into perspective.

Thanks, that's why they quoted so high...

I think its even faster if the car was on a hydraulic lift
