Just a quick question to my fellow cobalt owners on how much everybody is paying for the gm stage 2 install at their chevy dealership. I got a good deal on a stage 2 kit from the dealer but it seems that all the chevy dealerships want to charge me like $500.00 to put it in my car or they have not done one yet and dont know exactly how much it will cost. Please help I live in NY in the Albany area. I know that it does not cost that much to install it and I dont want to pay that price. Labor rate is like $90.00 an hour.

 

$250 here in NC

 

250 in tx

 

where at in tx did you find it for 250 to install??

 

The dealership is saying that the hardest part is taking the old pulley off.

 

just got mine done last week. Cost me $282.. quoted me 4 hours at $94 but got it done in 3.
My dealership said that they heated the pully to get it off.

 

The pulley IS a bitch to get off. I had to sit on top of the supecharger and push as hard as I could to get it off.

 

My dad is a GM mechanic - so for me the install is FREE!!!!

(I know that doesn't help you out, but I just wanted to brag.)

 

my dealer origionally quoted me like 4.5 hours of work and i jsut told him, hold on a second buddy i gotta be at work at 3 (it was 11:30 at the time) he goes, ok come pick it up at 2:30. haha

 

i refuse to pay over 500 for a stage2 install.

 

I paid $215 for install.

 

I'm a GM tech...so I did my own :-P hahaha....but yea, 250-300 seems to be the average

 

272 they had the car all day they just told me before that it would only be 2 hours so i gave em my car before i went to school and got it after school they just finished
