    I'm curious what people are paying for the engine out service these days as I'm being quoted $13.5k which is higher than I expected?

    My mechanics great and usually very reasonable on cost so I'm guessing thats the market but I don't see anything very recent and what I do see is <$10k.

    Basic service done right, nothing special.

    Make, model, year and market area would be a good place to start. My crystal ball is broken.

    Wow, that was stupid, I forgot that this isn't just F355's in this subforum..

    1995 F355, 16k total miles, no known issues, basic engine out service due to time not mileage.

    Will use Hill engineering bearings but pretty basic do the job stuff otherwise like replace valve cover gaskets, spark plugs and all fluids including brake system.

    Its pretty much 10Gs and up. Dealers in big markets will be much higher. Independents in bigger markets will be near what you were told.

    In the past 2 years my overhead has taken some big hits and parts are up too. Prices will continue to climb.

    A basic engine out done by an experienced tech is about $10k CAD here, which is about 7200 USD. This is in Vancouver area.

    This doesn't include all the other "while you're in there" items. I think 15k CAD is a good budget, which is about 11k USD. That's a fairly thorough major.

    My last extensive major I did on a 355 included a lot of other restorative items, including compression / leakdown testing, rebuilding of front and rear suspension bushings, steering rack boots, tie rod repairs, a/c diag and repair/recharge, faulty suspension gear servo rebuilds, some miscellaneous repair/recondition items and the total was about 28k USD. Parts costs alone were about 15k USD of that.

    I would consider this above and beyond however, I basically gave the tech the go ahead to seek out and find any issues and repair them as this example is essentially a 1 of 1 and deserving of it. Did it NEED everything done? Probably not...but now it's good for another 15-20 years of enjoyment with just the regular belt service every 6-7 years or whatever your threshold is.
