How much less will this Mercedes indy charge? I couldn't imagine him charging less than $450 for the boot replacement using aftermarket parts. |
Thanks for the info.
The BMW indy was charging for the boot plus labor. I think his price was very high unless I'm missing something as I'm not sure how many hrs the job calls for. I can't imagine what his per hr rate is but let's say he was gonna charge me a $100 for the boot, then he wanted 5 hours labor? Not sure.
With the Mercedes indy, I got the part from my local BMW dealer. The "kit" cost $41 which included the lube and the clamps. I'm not sure how much this guy's gonna charge me but I'll let everyone know when I pick up the truck tonight.
Thanks
