With parts and labor the shop quoted me 2700.00 What's everyone's take on this price? Thanks Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Feb 3, 2015, 11:40 AM Post #2 of 4 (1447 views) Re: engine pricing Sign In So far doesn't mean much. What does that include with that price and warranty on it? Has the engine been totally checked out with a history more than just miles on the vehicle it came out of? How much is engine cost and how much is labor. You can call a salvage yard yourself with your VIN so they would know an exact fit engine and what they have at what prices for a clue. Expect included or understood that you should start off with fresh oil change, tune up items, antifreeze and by now cooling system hoses as well. I like well checked out used ORIGINAL engines at this age of vehicle or so. It costs no matter what so you or your trust in the tech or shop for a check on this engine and anything known about it. Personally I like knowing why it's available - wrecked vehicles and how or what happened? Can't nail down prices without tons more specifics on the job as a whole, T Discretesignals Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Feb 3, 2015, 11:54 AM Post #3 of 4 (1443 views) Re: engine pricing Sign In What is the shop's labor rate?

Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Feb 3, 2015, 12:45 PM Post #4 of 4 (1436 views) Re: engine pricing Sign In That sounds pretty reasonable to me, depending what it includes. It is common practice to freshen up the engine while it is out of the car and the only cost is parts with things like a new rear main seal, pan gasket, plugs, wires (if equipped), water pump, T-stat, hoses, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
