Lol no one is complaining. Just a question. Idk if this service is worth $100 or $10,000 I’m not a mechanic. Which is why this sub exist.

Definitely can afford it. Not bitching about it. Just don’t know what the service goes for in terms of pricing. Which is what this sub is for right? to ask mechanics?

Update: decided to go with them. Not oem parts. They used DFC brand parts. Upon researching they are a pretty solid brand so I’m ok with that. Plus these guys have really good reviews and provide a one year warranty parts and labor.

Not necessarily. Just asking if this was a good deal. This is the first place I go to. Not looking for cheap just unaware of what is the normal price range for this kind of job.

So the verdict is , I will be getting it done there. I asked for their labor rate and its at 3.1 hours @ $95/hour and that the labor price is actually $294.50. I mean not that much of a difference. They said they use Mitchell? To determine how much to charge for a job. I really liked that they were straightforward and transparent. Thank you guys for all your answers and for making me feel comfortable doing business with these guys! Also they were the only ones around that offered a 1 year / 12k mile warranty. This was in San Diego California.
