Labor Cost for these jobs?


Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me how much time or labor cost is appropriate for the following jobs?

Some of you might have had similar stuff done on your cars.

If you know how much the parts cost, that would help also.

1. Air/Oil Separator replacement (I was quoted 8-9 hrs, it's a Tip, so requires an extra hr)

2. Oil filler hose replacement

3. Compression test - (I was quoted 3 hrs)

4. Both PCV valves (?)

Together with an oil service, I was given an estimate of about $2500 with tax included.

My Indy charges $93/hr. I know he can be a little expensive, but he's good and thorough, and does a good job. The good thing is I get to walk around the shop and my car, and talk to him instead of to a service advisor!

I'm just trying to do my homework and arm myself with some ammo before I confront him tomorrow with questions about the work to be done, and the labor cost for everything.

Thanks ALL!

Air / Oil is probably about right since they will likely remove the engine to gain access to it. While in there, they should be able to replace the filler hose with no extra work as well as the PCV's. The compression test is, in my opinion, a bit high. When my motor went, I paid an hour of labor for them to do the diagnosis which involved a compression check on all six cylinders (number 2 was 0).
