You may have a shop that is unfamiliar with Corvette and does not know the "going rate" or has not done enough water pump replacements to be familiar with the job. Or they are just takng you for a ride, either way I would not want this shop working on my car.

I had a shop quote me $2,500 for a fuel pump last week. I think overbidding is their way of saying "we do not know what we are doing and had prefer you take it somewhere else."

Sounds like this shop Contracts out their work to the nearest Chevy Dealership, and then marks up the price so they can make a profit...:crazy2:

We can powder coat the water pump any color you want and throw in a dyno tune afterwards and you would still have change. :lol:
whoever quoted you that is either horribly clueless, or an a-hole.

Maybe the price includes a markup after taking it to a dealership. :lol:

you should at least get a reach around after paying $1,000 to replace those.
Before I started wrenching my own car I paid $150 to have mine replaced, and that was steep considering that I brought my own part. I think when you come in with a simple DIY job like this they think you have no clue, and some of the unscrupulous guys take advantage of this. you're much more likely to get ripped off on a little job like this than a big job, a some guys try to really get ya for taking a bay for minor repairs. |
