Look on RA to see what a reman runs. Iirc they run 1200-1800 and they take a couple hours to install.
This pretty much what google pointed to price wise. He's replacing with oem gm and that price includes labor.
I don't have the means, time, or knowledge to install this. If I did, it might be different, but working as much as I do, and this being my daily, it's the best choice for me.
Sure, I could do a reman or junkyard, but I'd rather have brand new and at least a years warranty.
All in all, I'm ok with it. I trust him not to screw us over, one of the most reputable shops in town and hard to get in on short notice. He has always cut costs for me and gave me discounts or free stuff, so I don't mind if it costs a little more.
