price check - shop labor for rod bearing + other work
i got a price quote for the following:
rod bearing replacement motor mounts spark plugs oil change i think i'm getting a good price for what i'm asking for but just wanted some forum confirmation i ordered the BE bearings and ARP bolts on my own because they are backordered but someone on the forum pointed me to bimmerzone who had it in stock all other parts will be ordered by the shop (listed on the estimate) shop is giving me a discount on labor since a lot of it overlaps to get to the motor mounts and bearings thanks for your input

Thanks
we were initially only discussing the rod bearing change + oil change 9 hours + 0.3 hours which seems like a very fair and standard rate then figured i might as well get the motor mounts and spark plugs done at same time and asked for discounted rate since he's already going to have the car lifted and getting in there for the bearings so just charging additional 1.25 hours

Why is this shop unreputable?
Even if it was the shop’s first S65 bearing change, why cant a professional mechanic change the bearings competently? I did my car myself 4 years ago and I am just a DIYer. |

There’s a lot of chances f*king up a RB job on s65, not saying that a experienced shop won’t make a mistake but the chances are a lot higher with someone who hasn’t done it at all. Maybe I’m just a little paranoid about it..ok lol

That's definitely a fair rate. In fact, it's quite low compared to going rates here in the Northeast. I paid closer to $1,250 for the RB replacement labor, though it also included oil change and engine mounts.

That's a really good price, but if you are close to MRF, I would go to MRF.
