Is there any book or guideline for standard labor rates for working on the evolution like say..


Chaging timing belt x.x hours*shoplaborrate.

Clutch install x.xhours*shoplaborrate

So on and so on.. I'm having my engine built and i'm worried about the shop running up a very large number of hours when indeed it wasnt.

 

did u get a not to exceed quote?

 

+1 prices should always be quoted beforehand and they are not legally allowed to exceed the quote without your permission even if the work has been finished already.

 

i would make sure you get a quote before they start wrenching on it.....

 

what if they wont quote it

 

Then leave and go else where

 

+1

 

they have to quote u before they start working on yr car! sound fishy to me if they refuse to quote u..

 

they are legally required to quote you, if they wont leave and find a shop you trust

 

Why would you even stick around if they won't quote you?

 

becaue the only other place my car could go is mitsubishi.. and they've ****ed up every evo they have ever touched.

 

Any shop that refuses to quote you shouldn't be trusted for anything past changing windshield wipers IMO. It's just *asking* to get scammed.

 

yeah that shop does sound kinda fishy.....there isnt any other tuner/race shops around there?
