Is there anyone that knows a shop or a mechanic in the Vancouver area that does a regearing service where I could provide my own parts?
Thank you.

I also know this private mechanic that does it in his garage for $50 an hour.

Yeah! I have contacted all of those businesses and most of them have giving me quotes that are 3000$ of over. I am trying to get the entire regearing work done under 3K. One guy gave me a quote for 2700$, but he is in Oak Harbour, Washington.

If I purchase the parts online, I am able to save 200$ compare to most shops in the GVRD area. It just feels to me that 3000$ is quite a bit.

How well do you know the mechanic you mentioned and how legit is he?

Hey Yannick
I just talked to the mechanic, apparently he won’t do regearing nowadays, says it’s too much of a hassle to do it in his home without the proper tools (he used to run a shop) so I guess you’ll have to keep asking around.

FYI- Most shops don't like installing gears sold by others. The liability is pretty bad. Few of the ones that do offer any type of warranty.

I just talked with the service guy at my dealership, and he said I could bring my own parts which they will install and warranty the work. My dealership also offers a 10% discount on service.

Enrico. in mission. did mine . he does ok work .
He is the one I will go to for the regear. He gave me a good estimate for ARB and regear.
Why do you say he did "ok work"?

Just remind him not to break carrier bearings.....
What do you mean?
Did he damage some of your parts while doing the work?
I am asking because he has 101 reviews on Google and 5*

He had trouble removing them, but he is good at standing behind his work .
That is something he mentioned on the phone. He's done research about the work that needed to be performed on the regear, gave me several calls after doing so and his labor is extremely fairly priced.

I regeared my jeep to a 4.56 ratio with a ARB locker at the rear. It is smoother to drive then when it was stock and cant wait to take it off roading. Quality and professional work done by Enrico at EDS.
