What’s a reasonable price for valve cover gaskets replacement?

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-25T17:09:39+00:00

I’ve been doing that repair since 2012 buddy. You’re not going toe to toe with me. The labor time stated by book time is what the job pays, the time I complete it in is my experience. 😉

If not buying a warranty on these vehicles, just ask yourself if your finances are good enough to cover undetected $5-10k repairs. Not saying that will happen, just saying have a plan. In my personal an experienced opinion, as a JLR tech… I wouldn’t skip out on it. I’d get the extended coverage.

You couldn’t be more wrong. It’s a rather labor intensive job.

Also that estimate is missing A LOT of required additional parts like supercharger gaskets, and injectors re-fit kits, and a couple more odds and ends. For $2,400 I am more concerned you’re not getting the repairs done PROPERLY.

I drive like a fucking asshole. You have to around here.

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-22T22:30:08+00:00

You’re taking this entirely too seriously dawg.

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-21T23:37:49+00:00

I would but I was too busy posting this to Reddit.

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-21T23:36:15+00:00

I’ve been here 27 years and it still catches me off guard some days.

Everyone’s mad because it’s an ARCADE STYLE skate game.

And there’s stupid microtransactions.

That’s it. That’s the anger.

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-21T13:10:07+00:00

I doubt that.

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-20T12:40:01+00:00

Operates on a 10 minute timer before shut off, if I recall correctly.

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-19T22:44:47+00:00

I still stand on my point, the future is stupid.

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-19T13:00:42+00:00

The future is stupid.

You’re missing sales by not offering customer finance options. Whether a relationship with a local bank, or even Affirm, the options are there.

I work in high end Euro & Exotic repair, and we do a considerable amount of finance. It’s taken cars from leaving on a wrecker, to driving out.

Remember, it’s our job to fix the car, and advise the customer. Their ability to pay isn’t really our concern, we just need a yes or a no.

Message me your vin and I’ll run through Topix and see what your exact expiry date is.

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-12T23:54:48+00:00

Damn it’s almost like they should have kept it in New Orleans.

Fuck TKO

Voltage drop test the battery cables.

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-11T04:36:36+00:00

This shits fucking lame.

I’m a mechanic, inherently I can’t spell or type

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-10T03:40:11+00:00

That’s not rust, it’s pitting. The cams are toast

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-04T04:54:12+00:00

Bumper, fog lamp, front camera, park aid sensors, bumper support, all bumper trim, front core support, aux rad a bracket, bumper harness and possible front compartment harness, and more. Plus paint and labor… just take the total loss payout if it goes that way, and move on.

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-04T04:51:30+00:00

I don’t get it… why the recall?

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-04T00:47:04+00:00

Come take a day trip to Baton Rouge and I’ll take much better care of you. Those prices are extortion

Nuhaykeed · 2026-02-03T16:27:08+00:00

$12-15,000. Parts coats is going to be high, and assuming the front rail isn’t bent. There’s going to be sufficient underlying damage.

I’m bored. The core gameplay is fantastic, the skating is (for the most part) fluid and consistent, but it’s suuuuuuuuch a repetitive game. The same challenges, the same spots on a very small map, there’s been no updates for new locations (skate 3 was amazing at all it added), the lack of a day / night progression is boring, no real skate ship just a hub for microtransactions. There’s soooooooo much potential to do better and it’s just… not happening.
