They replied to my email and confirmed that the job did in fact take 13 total hours to complete. I’m disappointed they didn’t offer any sort of recourse. Also, the shop owner mentioned that they don’t provide estimates because every job is a custom “one off.”

That's bad on their part. How can an hour or less of welding take almost 2 full work days. If it took somebody legitimately 13 hours to do that job they have no business welding or fixing cars.

I did this job myself, it took 3 hours max. DeansBimmer only charging $300 is a deal, i would not do this to someones car for only $300. Welding the shell took the longest. Sucks you had to pay for an expensive lesson.

We all take hits at one point or another. At least the end result is positive and you have an awesome sounding exhaust. |

I'd educate your guys a bit with a couple of diy videos, if nothing else to make them feel bad. Because they should mate. |

Ouch.. WAYYY to expensive for that mod, sorry to hear about your experience.
The good part is you're happy with the exhaust so I guess that's what really matters

Sounds like you need to rethink owning/modding a performance car.

Here’s the email. I redacted the shop’s name because I’m a nice person.

Each time to start (get tools and supplies ready) and stop (clean up) takes time. Not sure why they would do it over a stretch of days. That's a very straight forward task. Imagine you change your spark plugs one by one. Each day another plug. It would take "forever". Plus, I am chuckling at the picture of a mechanic with a stop watch, lol. Anyway, lesson learned and I agree that there shouldn't be a problem naming the company. This company feels like that it is justified. And to be clear, they opened both sides ( top and bottom) of the muffler so they can weld all around. Usually only the top side gets opened. At least that's my understanding That is double the work right here. Perhaps you can point them to the discussion here and they can name them self. |
