Is it me or is Japtrix jerking me around. I need to install springs and my stock exhaust back on the car and they are charging me $250. As far as I know this should be about 2hrs worth of labor. Their going rate is $90 per hr so this shoudl be $180. They are saying it wil take 3-4 hrs.

What do you guys think?

 

maybe the mechanical rate is different from regular labour

 

2 hrs for the springs and at least 1/2 hour maybe 1 hour for the xhaust.

why not just buy a jack, and some jackstands for $50 and diy if you think its too much money??

 

That sounds about right.

 

I think that is alot to install those components, It does not take 3-4 hrs to do

 

I am about to do that and just let them do the springs only since I dont have the spring compression tool.

 

Its not that it takes a shop 3-4 hours to do it, that is labor rate. It is a standard that when you do this you are paid 2.3 job hours.... etc and there rate is 90 an hr.

 

u can borrow the compression tool from your local autozone for free. thats what i did.

 

I see what you mean...I am selling the G35 by the way..returning back to stock...I bought a new G37 as the next project car.

 

Congrats on a new project car...

 

yea, shops and even dealers charge a lil extra like danny said

 

shops charge what they want. if you're not happy with the price, do it yourself or get a friend to help. that simple.

 

let danny help u do it.. buy him a case and he might paint the whole car for ya while ya at it hehehe just messing with ya danny

 

I know somebody that knows somebody that is their brothers friend that can do all that stuff in their garage for like 39.95







































let me kno....

 

JAPTRIX SUCKS!!!

I would go somewhere else if I was you. Both things that you have to do I have done in my drive way already. It's not hard what so ever. Just go to Autozone and rent the tools and when you are done return them and the'll give you your money back. It's not worth paying $250 to someone for something you can do yourself. **** I just changed my rear wheel bearing in my friends drive way with a friend of mine. All it took was a couple of phone calls to Danny and a couple of other guys on here and I was straight.
