Is my repair quote fair?
Real repair quotes people have shared online, broken down line by line: what looks fair, what looks padded, and what to ask the shop.
- Looks high2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Is $1,165 for radiator hoses on a Chevy Silverado fair?
The radiator hose line is the problem. $1,165 is a lot more than replacing the upper and lower hoses normally runs, and the $368 fuel injection service is an add-on most trucks don't need.
- Partly fair2011 Volkswagen Polo 1.2 (70PS)
Is £591 for an intake manifold on a VW Polo 1.2 fair?
The timing chain work makes sense. The £591 intake manifold is the line to question, because the labour describes a gasket job while the parts list charges for a whole new manifold.
- Depends2021 Ford Bronco, 64k miles
Is $894 for an A/C pressure sensor on a Ford Bronco fair?
Sort out the warranty before anything else, since it could cover the whole thing. If you're paying, $894 for a pressure sensor and connector looks high unless the system really has to be evacuated and recharged.
- Fair2015 Mercedes-Benz GLK 350 (RWD)
Is $950 labor for engine mounts on a Mercedes GLK 350 fair?
Yes, the labor looks fair. $950 for about 5 hours is roughly $190 an hour, normal for a shop that works on Mercedes. The thing to check is what they'll charge for the parts.
- Fair2011 Honda Accord
Is $60 to replace a power steering o-ring on a Honda Accord fair?
Yes. $60 is about as cheap as a shop job gets. Pay it rather than risk breaking a clip or connector doing it yourself.
