Hey gang,
I got this price quote from my local dealer and wanted your input. They are really nice group of guys/gals and I like to try to bring them business whenever I can. I've always done my own maintenance, but this year we now have 2 little boys and free time is not in my vocabulary anymore. I wanted to find out how much my planned maintenance/upgrades would cost me and this is what I got back (I asked for breakdown of jobs down alone vs. combined with other jobs):
PRICES ORIGINAL
SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT-$130
VALVE CLEARANCES INSPECT AND ADJUSTMENT $475
BRAKE HOSES+FLUID CHANGE-$150(using supplied lines)
BRAKE PADS F+R -$240
SWINGARM PIVOT REPACK-$315
COOLANT FLUSH-$100
FRONT FORK REPLACEMENT-$135(using supplied parts)
REPLACE REAR SHOCK-$135(using supplied parts)
LUBE OIL FILTER-$135 PARTS INCLUDED ( non synthetic oil )
TIRES INSTALLED PARTS AND LABOR-$450
TOTAL-$2265
OVERLAP PRICING PARTS AND LABOR
SPARK PLUGS/VALVES/COOLANT-$535
REPLACE BRAKE PADS/LINES/FLUID-$215
REPACK SWINGARM PIVOT/REPLACE REAR SHOCK-$360(with supplied parts)
OIL AND FILTER CHANGE-$90
NEW TIRES INSTALLED-$405(subtracting 1/2hr labor from original to repack S/A bearings)
TOTAL-$1605
Isn't $135 for an oil change outrageous? This costs me $60 for a full synthetic change on my car which takes twice the oil. It makes me wonder about the other prices being inflated as well.
My questions for yall are thusly:
1) What do you think of these prices, ie how do they compare to other stealerships you've work with?
2) do you think the time alloted for the above work is reasonable?
3) how long do you think it would take me to do the above on my own?
Thanks as always for the advice and insight
