Just recieved my stage2 in the mail today and going on tomorrow first thing in the morning.The dealership quoted me $248.00 for the install,is this a good price?

 

pretty good... you know, now you can beat GTO's..... lol..

 

Don't fill his head with ideas.

 

yes this actually is a good price, very rare indeed.

 

haha... but really my friends friend has a friend whos little brothers boss... totally like pulled a whole bus on a GTO this one time...

 

Yeah, my dealer charges $200.00 so that is a good price!

 

do it yourself, there is a good how to on this. the just drive it nice and easy to the dealership to get it programmed

 

Thanks for the input guys,it's good to know i'm not getting ripped off on the install price,and i think if you want the warranty a gm dealership has to install it.

 

That's a real good price.

My dealer was willing (reluctantly) to do the install for $200. He trusted me when I told him that someone had mentioned to me that another dealer would do it for $200. But before I picked up the car, I actually called that other dealer myself and found out that they wanted $400.

So in good conscience, I had to mention this when I picked up my car (service manager had already written up the bill for $200).

I told him I'd pay him the $400, and he was thankful for my honesty. The mechanics there did an excellent job on the install, and the people who did the work on my car enthusiastically came out to talk to me about what they did.

That made me even happier that I was honest with them!

I'm not perfect, but it's nice to know I can do something right at least once in a while...

In case of a possible problem with the install (or even after the install):

SCENARIO #1
Stage 2 NOT installed by the dealer
"Sorry son, we didn't do the work. So, how much do you have on your credit card?"

SCENARIO #2
Stage 2 INSTALLED by the dealer
"Sure, bring it right in. We honor our work."

Now, which one of those scenarios would you people rather prefer?

 

Hey guys just giving you an update on my install.The tech installed every thing, then when he reinstalled the supercharger the pully on the charger didn't match the other pullies.They took pictures and sent them to gm,they were contacted by gm and said they were going to be sending a new supercharger and it will arrive friday.Any thoughts?

 

wow ...good deal for you....stage 2 with a new supercharger and all!

 

200 is a little steep from what i paid, i paid 138.

 

i paid 171...your price isnt bad.

 

They were thinking that the snout of the supercharger wasn't machined enough.

 

i got my supercharger replaced after beeting the pulley onto it with the FLOOR haha.

the pulley puller stripped and it needed to be done.

worked well for like 2 months.

 

Hey where are you in Tacoma? I haven't seen you post in the local forum below, you should post in there!

 

Thats crazy my dealer wants 80-110 an hour !!!

 

This is the first time i have taken anything to them but this dealer seems cool.

 

..yea thats average, i paid 90 an hour. I told them, GM states 1 1/2 hours install, can you give me that price. they said 'yup', they even got me a discount cause it was my 'work vehicle'.

 

THIS JUST IN!!!!!!! STAGE 2!!!! ISNT FAST lol

and i dont live in tacoma cutes, sorry bro

 

LS1 GTO's

 

Has anyone else had this problem?

 

i love how they are STILL taking plugs at hattrickdouchebagstu and his video of him "raping" a gto hehehe.

 

sorry to be kind of an ass here but you americans don't have any thing to complain about for stage 2 install prices..try coming up here to canada..you won't see 131 or 173 or even 200 like you all are saying

 

its true, im in alberta, and it was 1200$ for just stage 2 from the dealer lol, plus 4 hours of install at 88.50 an hour ..... LEWL\

for the same price i spent a whole day on a dyno and got a pro tune!

and way more **** then what the 1200$ they wanted for stage 2 was giving me!
