clutch replacement excessive cost

The plot thickens. Well, I speak from experience when I say that it totally sucks putting things back together that someone else took apart. That could play a huge factor. I only know your side of the story and your story just got a little more complicated. There's not enough info to say that they screwed you.

I have a sign at the shop that I made, the idea was copied from old signs I've seen at shops years ago, but still makes the point. Mine says:

Hourly Labor - $65 per Hour
If you watch - $75 per hour
If you help - $85 per hour
If you tried to do it yourself first - $100 per hour

 

Too close to 4/20? When you take something apart, you give up the right to complain about how much someone else charges to put it back together.

 

If we had psychic ability and a magic wand, we could've retired rich a long time ago, no doubt. Great post!

 

At least it was done wright, swallow your pride and move on.

 

the rest of the story always comes out after the repair is finished

 

I need to replace my clutch.....and the engine seal while it's out. MHC wants to charge me $3300 (this also includes 12 hours they say it takes) Seems to me 3300 bucks is a bit steep.

 

Ever do it yourself?

I have and will gladly pay for it to be done for me.

 

It's a bill, not as high as I was afraid to see. Pay it and be on your way.

I myself don't do clutches, the worst I ever had happen to me was the pedal goes to the floor when the adjustment runs out flat. Never a new clutch. (There were times I should have gotten a new one when racing a dollar bobtail against production sports cars...)

 

I was charged $1865 for clutch and flywheel for labor

 

Any place around north side in Houston to replace clutch and flywheel housing $1865 too much to get it done
