Engine outs are $30k now?
So my mechanic quoted $30k for labor and parts for a full service. Im assuming this means all belts, fluids, etc. I’m in the Reno, NV area.
So your shop doesn't know what the noise is but he wants $30,000 for a major? Run away, run away. FAST!!!!
I have been shop foreman in some big Ferrari dealers. Rule one, always always diagnose sounds before taking a car apart. It is typically a very expensive mistake not to.
Your mechanic is a thief with a capital T. A thief and incompetent. Lets hear it for the daily double!!!!!!!!!!
You can ship your car to the Bay Area and get the engine out service done for less than half of that quote.
In the entire Reno/Sparks/Carson City area there is one guy qualified to do a major on a 355? Sorry I refuse to believe that. In any event it is just not a big deal to take it to Ben Salerno in Rocklin.
