$750 for labor

[TurboSilvia7587]

my bro in law just got a Kaaz 2 way LSD and he went to this shop and they quoted him $750. Is this right? because i think this is way to exspensive.

I see that you are in south cal

phase 2 does it for 200 I thinka shop on walnut and nogales will do it pretty cheap, I go there often when I want cheap but reliable labor done. Search for Revolution Auto on yahoo for city of industry

It's a bit high. The shop I've gone to in the past when I didn't want to install the tir rods on my car, charged $60/hr. It took 2 guys and hour to put my parts on and give me an alignment. My bill was $165, $45 alignment and 2 work hours.

Changing the rear diff on my "Toy" 240sx took ~6 hours by myself and I'd never done it before. Rent/borrow some tools and do it yourself. It's not a difficult job to do and there are a number of write-ups out there to help you.

$750 by $75/hr is 10 work hours. 5 hours for 2 guys to change a diff and it's guts is a bit much considering they have all the air tools to get it off/on fast and I did it all by hand.

Yeah, a differential install should be cheap. I mean, with the right tools, you and a friend can do it for free.

if you don't live too far away from me I'll help you, you must have at least the basic toools, jacks stands etc.. having or can borrow an air tool is a plus

I live around rowland heights
