Repairpal?

Post by takza »

A quick way to check out the parts and labor costs for various repairs.....probably not for the T4wd though...didn't check.

The 2 jobs I did on my Focus were only around $300 labor....
Give a boy a gun-give a biatch a cell phone-and pretty soon you almost got yourself a police state.

I'm just a little offended. How about a site that tells you how much YOU are worth? Not much different.

Too many variables. Skilled tech, new tech school grad, or c-list hack? OE parts or not? Did someone screw it up previously? Rusted fasteners? Is a disaster hiding underneath the surface? etc,etc..

If you can't trust your mechanic, you need a new one. (He is required to make a living off of you)

Sorry if I am still a thorn in your side. Welcome back anyway!

times vary from different data sources, we recently looked at the flat rate for replacing a carb on a Tercel4wd from Alldata, 1.8 hours!?!? that takes at most 20 min, and another 10 or so to make the adjustments.
'87 Tercel 4wd SR5 (current engine swap project)
'84 Tercel 4wd (daily driver, with on going mods)
'92 Mazda MPV 4wd (wife's daily driver)
'85 Tercel 4wd DLX auto(daughter's daily driver)
'01 Honda Civic (other daughter's daily driver)
