Got Quote For Gear Install. Does This Seem A Little To High?
Hey all,
Just got back from the speedshop I had been thinking of using to do my install of my 4.10 gears. With me providing the gears, and buying an install kit and gear oil from them, they wanted $513.00 total.
The AM description for the gears has this; Shop installation costs will vary, but we have heard numbers between $250 and $300. Be sure to work with a shop you trust for installations. So of course I was taken a little off guard there when they gave me that price. Even taking into account AM's cost for an install kit and oil, that's only $50.00 off, which would bring it down to a still whopping $460.00
So, what do you think? Continue looking around for other shops?

It was Springfield MotorSports.

I was going with them, because;
1- I've known of them, although not really about them, for awhile.
2- They're very close to me. About 10 to 15 minutes from home, and less than 10 from work.
The other place I was thinking of was Excessive MotorSport.

I've heard of them for a bit too, and they're within reasonable driving distance from me.

The original quote was pushing almost $800.00 before I told them that I already had the gears.

Guess I'll be going to see Excessive tomorrow afternoon then.

Went to Excessive last night to talk to them. $300.00 and 2-3 hours time, and I can be "like the installers shadow" if I want. They don't mind, and in fact they encourage, people to be on the floor and watch their cars get worked on. Install is set for this Saturday morning.

$300 sounds a lot better! I paid $240 for mine with new axle seals and watched the guy do the install the whole time, I supplied the gears, oil, and master bearing kit (replacing every bearing in the diff.). You'll LOVE the new gears
