Reality check - price out of line?

I personally wouldn't pay that much to have it done. I'd try to beg a friend to help me out on it and save that money. I was gonna have a shop install my I-beams and frame notch in my F-150 and they wanted almost twice what I paid for the parts just to install em. I wound up doing it myself I just had to get an extra hand and have plenty of tools for it.

 

Since when does it take 24 hours to install subframe connectors...?? Holy Jesus.

yea those will just bolt right in. really easy install. i'd find anyone that can just give you a hand and diy. save the $$.

 

A muffler shop should be able to knock out the SFC in just a couple hours

 

are we talking through-floor connectors or bolt-ins?? I heard not to bother with bolt ins myself. I had my subframe connectors installed at the same time that they installed the air ride setup, welded in the connectors and then undercoated the car and I didn't pay that much in labor(true story).

Should be 3-4 hrs at the most for standard weld-ins I would think.

 

If these are regular weld in subframes, I would not pay more than $200.

$2300 is pretty insulting if you ask me. I'd probably tell that guy to go **** himself.

 

Good lord for $2300 Ill come and install everything for you.

 

Shit is drive out there, install them, AND pay for parts for $2300. Lol

Seriously lol! That price is insane.

 

Maybe you got the 'female special'. That's price gouging at its finest. My cage guys does them with 4 hrs labor, your parts, or he can charge you $250 if he gets them.

 

Yea most places around here it's 400-500 installed that's with us supplying the subframe connectors

 

haha woww...thats some pretty serious rape there

Tell that guy to **** himself

 

Jesus.. I expected 300 plus, but $2300? Omg.. stay far away from that place

 

I am not kidding that I had my air-ride, connectors and undercoating for less then that. 24 hrs - is he going to repaint the entire car while its there as well?

 

Hell I really would do the work for you, your about 3ish hours away from me though lol.

 

24 hours labor to weld on subframe connectors??? what a piece of shit. I paid $150 to have mine installed. Any shop that can weld should be able to install them. Please don't buy anything from them, that's just flat out stealing

I'd go as far as to leave google reviews for the shop. that's trying to take advantage of you.
