Questions on estimate? too pricey or not?

[cjchapar]

I went to a local tuner shop (Einox tuning) and they gave me this estimate....

(TRD supercharger install, i have the charger already; a water pump and timing belt which has never been replaced before; install of an o2 sensor and cold spark plugs.)

$1,028 w/tax.

this isnt including any tuning.

their rate is $65 an hr, and they have me for 13 hrs....

If anyone can tell me if this is a good deal or i'm being overcharged please let me know. thanks.

I bought the supercharger froms someone else on TN and i was wondering if it was supposed to come with fuel injectors (larger ones) Einox told me that it should come with them....is that true? thanks

Dude I dont wanna be a dick but if your not willing to install the supercharger yourself, you shouldnt be using it.

^ Um, unless he has a LOT of car knowledge, it;s NOT as easy as you think. So by what you say, if you can;t replace an engine, you should not be driving.

That price seems a little steep. I can install the SC from start to finish in under 3 hours becaus eI know it so well. 2WickedToyz on the forum is not far from you, and could do the SuperCharger cheaper, and he is a Camry specialist. I'll give him a call and have him post up.

^^OP...believe this Dude! Adam knows what he's talkin about

for dealership prices - GREAT DEAL for all that. Period.



but as always, you can always find cheaper elsewhere.

shop around. get competitors estimates. ONce you get theirs then show the one you got and see if they will drop the price.

That would be really nice, I'll wait for a post from him to see what he has 2 say. 3 hrs? wish u were in my neighborhood . but do take into consideration the timing belt and water pump, thanks.

thanks for the heads up adam. you got pm cjchapar.

and yes if you cannot do a engine swap,suspension upgrade,5spd swap, complete I4 to v6 swap, and engine rebuild....you should not be driving...

oh also if you cannot strip a camry to bare chassis in 4hours then you shouldn't be on this forum

for shop prices that is actually a real good deal. You could probally find a shop to do it for under a thousand.
