I got a call from my indy today, I spoke with him a few months back about replacing the headgasket in my 300E . He wanted to let me know that they were offering 10% discount on parts and labor during the month of February. I guess they dont have much work
He quoted me the following back in Nov 08:
R & R Cyl Head gasket , replace front upper timming cover reseal
$410.00 parts
$1335.00 labor
$174500 sub-total
R & R Cyl Head Gasket Replacement , front upper timming cover reseal, new valve stem seals
$450.00 parts
$1513.00 labor
$1963.00 sub-total
R & R Cyl Head Gasket Replacement , new valve guides, valve seals front upper timming cover reseal and Cyl Head Refurbishing
$575.00 parts
$1335.00 labor
$450.00 machine Shop
$2360.00 sub-total
The following new parts are included on all the above:
Coolant
Breather hoses
Spark plugs/wires
Oil
Valves will be cleaned ( replaced if necessary)
The last estimate is close to what you were quoted, I wonder if we can get both HG replaced for the price of one???????
Good Luck!!!!
