Nothing special, 2007 pontiac g6

dealer quoted me $3,780 to fix car.

Needs:
Tires
Battery
Power steering pump
Brakes
rear brake calipers
speed sensor on front wheel

looked up parts myself, about 640 including core prices. Tires another 500-600 including mounting etc

so we come to about 1100 in parts and about 2700 in labor

gg

Thats 4 hours worth of work if you know what you're doing.

I'd have them do the tires and the calipers and do all the rest yourself, assuming you aren't retarded.

They're quoting you oem parts and you're probably looking at remans or aftermarket shit.

Even if thats the case, providing he picked cheapish rubber 3800 is insane.

im not able to do it due to my condition physically. Battery i could, and possibly some of the brakes, but for sure wouldn't be able to do the pump really.

I'd try some other local shops, the thing hasn't seen warranty work in years no reason to take it to a dealership unless you want it done with all oem parts which there is also no reason for.

I have dealerships install things like gearing.
Because it has to be so precise for it to last and they warranty their work.
