install pricing question

[juggernaut201]

Ok so I went on a shopping spree for my escalade ... I bought new rotors pads stainless steel lines hotchkis sway bars and ground force 9855 lowering kit ... What am I looking at for install at a shop?

Probably because you're stock and buying all this stuff, they'll think you're an idiot and will overcharge you. IMO do the bars and drop yourself, let a shop install the rotors, pads, and lines.

I agree with Stevek ...... you need to use some elbow grease and do some of it yourself. Any shop you call or walk in to with this "list of goods" will charge you up the ***** to install because they smell "fresh blood"

I was sorta in the same boat.. i had similar things that i needed installed. when checked around.. At pep boys. they WONT do it unless you buy the products from them. firestone was willing to do it for $1300 but wont warrenty anything ( if sumthing doesnt work or breaks you have to to pay for labor all over again).. a little mom and pop shop wanted 300 to put in pads SS brake lines rotors and turn my drums. While they were working on that i talked with one of them and asked what they would charge to install ball joints and wanted another $350 and wanted to keep it over night. I ended up going with the little shop vs the big boys and i am very happy. I would suggest to go sumwhere and start with the brake system then work them for the other stuff. just my 0.2

Yea thanks I was thinking the same thing mayb do the rotors and pads done 1st then do the suspension and sways after I was thinking 300 for the drop at a shop at most 200 for the brake work and mayb another 200ish for the sways
