Hey all, I get lazy sometimes and seeing as how its a pain in the **** to jack up my car I decided to pay someone to swap the TV cable on my tranny. Well, I didn't pay someone cause the estimate was $135!!!!!

WTF is up with that estimate? Thats WAY too high, I verified that they knew exactly what part to swap, but thats outrageous. Has anyone else ever gotten an estimate to put a new TV Cable in?

I guess I have a good reason to not be lazy and swap it myself, but yikes $135 for a 20 minute job!

 

Sounds like they didn't want to do the job, so they gave you an outrageous price!

 

I still can't beleive that they can even get away with charging such a price.

Guess I'll be doing it tomorow. Along with the U-joints, rear axel, everything else.

 

I would really hate to hear what they would charge to rebuild a trans!

 

I called them to figure out how they are chargning, turns out they have a 2 hour minimum labor charge! That bumps it up to $120 right there! I told them that it was bull**** to charger a minimum 2 hours when some things only take 20 minutes if all goes well.
