I was quoted 1700+ for a heater hose. Got another opinion and the same hose was 361 dollars. Also quoted 2200 for motor mounts, 1100 at the other place. Don’t waste your time.
Thank you for your feedback, Ryan. We understand that auto repairs can be a significant investment and agree; it’s always a good idea to seek a second opinion when making major repair decisions. That said, we’d like to provide some context behind the quotes you received. The heater hose replacement on your vehicle is not a simple part swap. The job requires the removal of the intake manifold, the wiper motor and arms, and the partition wall to gain access to the leaking hoses — not just one hose. It’s a labor-intensive repair, and our pricing reflects the time and care needed to do the job properly. The same applies to the motor mounts. On your vehicle, replacing them requires the removal of the catalytic converters to access the mounts — another complex, labor-heavy job that isn’t always apparent from the outside looking in. In addition to the labor involved, we use OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts, not aftermarket or generic alternatives, to ensure long-term reliability and performance. All of our work is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile nationwide warranty, which offers added value and peace of mind. We pride ourselves on the quality of our work and regularly compare our pricing with other specialized European shops in the area. We remain competitively priced, especially when considering the level of service, warranty, and parts we provide. We’re always here to answer questions and explain our process, and we’d be happy to walk through any quote in detail. If you’d like to discuss further, feel free to give us a call.
