2002 accent, axels cost?
I just scheduled the replacement of both of the front drive axles on my
2002 Hyundai Accent with 193,000 miles on the clock. The reason for my post is that I wanna' check with you guys to verify that $1,400 is a reasonable and acceptable price to pay the dealer for this sorta' work. Seems kinda' pricey to me. Oh yeah. If geography is a factor, this will be in central California. What do ya think? Should I keep my appointment or should I find another repair facility? Mike |

I've used Cabral's Auto (recommended to me) for the same thing on a Camry and he was far cheaper then the dealer and $200 cheaper than my regular wrench. He's now my regular wrench. I've been a happy customer and it may be worth a call for you. |

Seems kinda' pricey to me. Mike, the dealer charge is never reasonable. Find yourself a god reliable independent mechanic and save a bundle of money. I took our company pickup truck to the dealer for an oil change. They sent us a coupon for $29.95 for the change. That is reasonable. The price without the coupon though, is $55. The good part of the deal is that they have a nice little lunch counter and give customers free coffee, muffins, finger sandwiches, etc. They also have a bunch of Roush Mustangs too with very good internet deals. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...1%7C240%3A1308 In the showroom they sticker for $48,000. |

The labor guide I checked listed the time as 3 hours for both sides. Figure it out from there. Joe |

That would pretty nicely cover profit and overhead, I should think. -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |
