Truck work estimates

[NYRturkeycall]

What's your best estimate for a 2017 1500 Silverado oil change, front brakes (pads and rotors),  and tire rotation. Standard parts nothing fancy.  Keep in mind I'm on long Island. I know labor prices are high but boy was I surprised at the new pricing. Want to see your estimates before I surprise you all.

$900

[mowin]

Oil, $100

Front brakes with labor.  $800

[Nontypical]

$1300?

Damn now I actually feel better about myself. Quoted 650 plus tax.  A good friend of mines mechanic who will likely now be my guy.

I guess I'm just old now and used to my old Mobile station having $40 an hour labor rate posted... Because 1996 prices was 5 years ago in my head

Thanks!!

I was quoted $700 for parts n labor for brakes n rotors for both front and back
Ended up doing myself for 3hrs and $260
I gave myself a serious raise...lol will never make $140/hr at my regular job

[Spaceman Spiff]

Big difference in cost/quality of parts. OEM vs parts store

[Chef]

Oil change full synthetic 130

front breaks and rotors 400 ish

balance and rotate 150 since they are already off for the breaks 

 

so just under $700 

 

 

[just lucky]

100 for LOF, 30 for rotation, parts around 300, labor for brakes around 200.

I manage a transportation fleet and 650+ is about spot on.   Labor rates are now $120/hr plus.   Heavy truck and bus rates are significantly more.   $90 for synthetic oil/filter change and overall fluid and operations check, $450 + for brakes.  

Tire rotation should be free if you bought the tires there.

I couldnt imagine, Years ago i started doing everything i could possibly do with mechanic work. 15 years ago I couldnt bare to pay the labor charges, I couldnt imagine what todays rate is.

I do my own brakes, but I was recently quoted about $1000 for front brakes while it was there.

I am fortunate to have a small shop thats bread and butter are tires brakes and their labor rate is a whopping $90 an hr and they don’t mark up the parts.

Exact reason I do everything I possibly can on my vehicles.Have ran into a few things I didn't want to touch and am lucky enough to have a guy family has went to for year who's honest and fair.Had to replace upper ball joint on 08 silverado few months ago and $240 for part as they only sell it assembled to control arm,bastids!Prices are crazy!

600 minimum for front brakes and 100 for oil change on this side of the state so I'm goin to say 1500 in the city.
