Anyone have alternatives in Socal?

This shop is very high end. Which is good. But thats one hell of a price. This includes removing all windows and the sunroof...sheesh...a big job..

That is a PITA job and actually one of the few items I would consider delegating to someone else. The price doesn't surprise me.

There's a good body shop in Van Nuys called Real Auto Body which may be cheaper. Ask for Nazoe or George.

Hope this helps,

It definitely looks tricky. And I would hate to pay someone to fix a bargain job...

What part of SoCal?

LA, but I'm willing to travel...

Frankly, you'd have to pay me more than $750 to do a headliner. This is a major PITA. Check out the labor involved and you may find that this price isn't so crazy.

try Trimline in Redondo Beach. Not sure if Manual still works there or not.

Look at it this way - let's say the labor rate is $150/hr, that's 5 hours of labor.

Would you rather they rushed the job?

No..I'm pretty sure its a fair price for the job. I guess I didn't now that the windows had to come out, etc.

Thought there was a way around it.

By the way, I don't need any enabling. I'm fine screwing things up on my own.

Hey! I'm above average at something oh wait

If I was working in a shop and this job came up, I would hide in the bathroom till someone else took it.

Be nice. He's new and hasn't completely turned over his wallet to empty it...yet. Was this Autos International or someone else?

Wow. Is anyone paying $150 for even high-end mechanical work? I'm hoping it's 8 hours @ $90 each and a $30 materials "shop" charge.

Me, too. Hard work. Only perfect will do. Many opportunities to screw up.

someone was forgetting the price of the materials when computing the labor
