Jeep Repair Time Listing

[Bill_P]

Is there anywhere to find the repair times the dealers use to bill a repair? My jeep is at the stealership right now and they gave me the labor charges and the times don't seem right. They are billing an hour of labor to replace a brake hose. Thing looks like it should take 15 minutes to replace.

Don’t forget, they will most likely bleed the brakes as well. And depending on the brake system, it could take quite a bit of time.

I figured bleeding was factored in, but I didn't know it could be that big of a deal. They screwed up the initial quote, big time, and when I called them on it they started adding everything they could think of. The guy told me the little brass washers that go on each end of the hose were about $15 each. I looked them up and the MOPAR MSRP for a pack of 8 is $6 and I only need 2. That's why I'm not really trusting their time estimates.

I don’t blame you for being suspicious, sounds like a place to avoid.

Yeah. The only reason I took it there is because the brake locked up and it was the closest place to where I was.
They gave me a quote of $750 to fix the sway bar links that the guys who installed my lift put on wrong and to replace the brake hose. They guy also told me I would need rotors and pads soon and that would be $550. I just had pads installed the day before. When I went to check on it he told me the rotors they ordered were wrong and I reminded them that I told them not to replace them. They added them to the original quote. So when you take away $550 from $750 that means the repair I needed would be $200. The last they said I was sitting at $350. That's why I'm really skeptical. They're charging an hour to flip the sway bar links

I wouldn't walk away from that place, but rather run.......

They'll never see my narrow ass in their place again I promise that. This has all been an expensive lesson telling me that I need to learn how to do my own stuff
