Talk about taking advantage of you. Wow.

CBE install should be ~125 tops.

$400 is highway robbery! I would do it for you if I lived closer to you.

I'm thinking maybe it's because I'm a girl. Less inclined to know what the going rates are or what type of work is actually needed and done. What sucks most is that this shop was my most trusted. Oh well, the search continues...........

Yep. For a CBE install it should be 1 to 1.5 hours of labor, if that. If someone quotes you otherwise call BS (and don't give them your business as they are dishonest).

Good Morning Everyone!!!!

Good Morning OFC!!!!

It's Wed and my day off, at the dealer right now to have them adjust the passenger window, doesn't drop enough when opening the door thus rubbing the canvas. Service has been great so far thus can't complain

Ms.Pintsize75, I haven't had installed CBE before but as far as I read from the forum, $400 is quite & and I will just . Consider mechanic usually charges $60-70/hr, I am curious why the hell it will cost them 6-7 hours to install a bolt-on CBE, does that store run by raccoons??? eh??

ZOMG!! They're totally screwing you with that estimate. Do not proceed! Going elsewhere is in your best interest.
