Cheap autoshop
 

Does anyone know of a body shop that offers labour CHEAPER than 55/hour?

THANKS

Such a thing exists ?

Yeah actuallly, found a private auto shop charging 40 an hour lol

^Where is this???? lol

???

I am waiting for the guy to reply back to me, apparently him and his dad run a private shop somewhere.. sounds like only one lift though cause he said he's free next monday cause of a bmw he's working on nowwont be done til end of this week

is he even licensed?

cheapest i seen is 60$.

if you need a license for a shop, i guess they are, lol

wheres your 60/hr?

You don't need a license to rent a shop, anyone can rent space.

Its not MY shop. Not somewhere I would go either, I said that's the cheapest I've seen. Anyways, they are in scarborough, (we call it the jungle at work), highland creek overpass and kingston rd.

lol not some where you'd go? do you guys think it's a good deal to have:
2 Lower Control Arms.
2 Upper Control Arms.
2 Lower Ball Joints.
2 Outer Tie Rod Ends.
2 Inner Tie Rod Ends.
2 Sway Bar Link Kits.
all installed for 350 flat if cash?(he also offering 390-420 for those parts at mid-class depending on brands, not sure what are choices)
and 750 for a complete engine swap?

$350 for all that work is a good deal. I hope he is a good mechanic though.

You're doing an engine swap too?

haah i do too..

^ you're brave. i wouldn't just hire anybody cause they're cheap. think about it.....they're cheap for a reason, and not one that you would hope for......

i'd say pay the extra 20$ an hour for someone that is licensed. the 60$ shop i saw is licensed, and i've delivered parts to them many many times. i can't say about their work, but if they sucked, they wouldn't be in business, just saying.

this is a car, for me, if my car broke, i'd be fcuked. can't take those risks to save a few bucks. good luck :thumb:

The place has gotten good reviews though so I don't know, lol. I'll just hope for the best, what's the worst that can happen, front end suspension fails on me and i die? shucks.

lol

Maybe when the weathers warmer lol

you'll need an allignment after all that suspension work. better not cheap out on that.

i would hope they would allign it after installing.. no? lol ><

if he didn't quote you for it.. then no. if i were you and had to take my car to a shop for repairs, i would go to a reputable shop that charges around $80/hour and uses quality parts, preferably a shop that is mto certified and that the mechanics are all licensed. just remember.. you get what you pay for.

I completely agree, but i've read good reviews and i'm willing to gamble lol...

So I ended up paying 925 last night to get 2 upper control arms, 2 lower control arms, 2 outer tie rods, 2 cv boots, 2 steering sleeves, and i think 2 lower ball joints

parts + labour.

parts were from Bravo Canada and DX^2 (squared)

anyone know those brands? the guy told me that they were Japanese manufactured and considered "mid end" they were also brand new
