Insane Install Quote - Please Confirm
Ok, so I'm looking to get rotors, brakes, replacement struts (donor struts w/ Konis & Epic springs) installed and alignment done on a 2010 WRX. I have all of the parts already, just need labor done. I just went to a local mechanic and they quoted me ~$1,200 (~12 hours of labor). I am floored. I would have guessed about 1/2 that...
Questions: 1. Is this what I should expect? 2. If not, anyone know a shop in either Ft. Lauderdale or Miami area that would be worth trying? Honestly, I was just looking to save myself the time, but if this is a good estimate, I'll buck up and do the install myself! I have emails out to TAV and MGW in Pinecrest already, but looking for some insight in advance. Thnx...

Do you have the tools?
I am currently in Homestead Air Base. I will help you out, those parts are easy and can be done in less then 6 hours. |

No lift or air tools, but I have all the ratchets, wrenches, jack, stands, etc. I could possibly need to get these done. I was just hoping to save my time, if it wasn't too expensive... Let me give that some thought. I'll PM you and let you know... Thanks much for the offer! |

Update: Yes, that quote was off the wall high. Twice the amount of the other quotes that i received.
crasyboy412 - Thanks again for the offer. For the sake of convenience, I'm going to use a local shop, so that I can get it done while I'm at work. I really, really appreciate the offer. My brother is AF (stationed in Utah), so much respect for all that you do. Stay safe... |

its about 1~1.5 hour per corner...so maybe 4 to 6 hours depend
on if you have any frozen bolts. thats just for the install. 400~600 just for install labor.. you will need alignment afterwards.. |

Where exactly in America's penis are you located? I can do everything except the alignment on Sunday in my garage. I got air tools, stands, etc. Just break me off with a little something.

Just came back to say that I wound up getting everything done at TAV racing in doral. Picked 'er up today and she's awesome. Highly recommend them for subaru work in Miami. Bonus - I didn't get bent over in the process! |
