Motor Oil change for 2006 jeep commander, 3.7l v6. I also need the suspension inspected, and general diagnosis carried out

lilkech:
As a guideline for you, our labor rate is N5,000 an hour meaning a typical oil change would be around N2,500 and brakes would be around N7,500 in labor per set.

madam, these are very expensive compared to the prices people usually pay in these parts of the world

the last time I gave a Mech (Kaz obviously) N7,500 he serviced my injectors, changed all my brake pads, installed a new rear caliper, rotated my tyres and changed my oil and filter. He even allowed me buy those small spray paint cans and held on for me to personally spray all four calipers red so it looks cool

well, i drive a jalopy so maybe he pities me

obviously you cater to only the elite clientele. Luckily we have numerous ‘chairmen’ on this forum who drive high end cars so don’t fret. You’d get enough patronage.

Good luck

I congratulate you on having a reliable guy at those prices.

Our labor rates are actually half of comparable centers and come with 3 months warranty on work done. The purpose of the thread wasn't so much our rate but the amount of time you are being billed for. From what you're saying, his labor rate is about N1,500 per hour as it should be for a kazeem.

For example, if a mechanic told you he was going to charge you a certain amount, by knowing how many hours it should take, one could figure out what rate they were being charged for the service. This is especially important for bigger jobs and not so much the little things and I've seen some insane billing for labor since I've been here.

Pretty much any street car, 0.5 hours (N2,500) for oil change.

Suspension system inspection 0.8 hours

General diagnosis (should include visual suspension check) but generally 0.5-1 hour

NOTE: diagnoses are free with repair with us.

Hello, going to need a year for the vehicle. Also, are you asking for parts and labor or just labor because this thread is focusing on labor.

AmandaLuv:
so sorry. just the parts alone.

radautoworks:


What year is it?

AmandaLuv:
Not to derail the purpose of your thread. I reposted in the right section. Tnx

Honda accord 2006, sharp car, never been abused, never had its swaybar bushings replaced.

First try, bolts on bushing cap get broken inside subframe.


2 options, bring down subframe and get bolts out (this is risky as more things could get broken)

Another option gradually fill broken and weld a nut when it's grown tall enough . (2hrs you still on it)

Does not happen every day, but with the influx of flooded cars into the country, it is unavoidable and happens a lot.

Thebigkendo has spoken. 0.8 hours is just for an inspection. We haven't said what is wrong yet to be quoting repair. Plus like I said in other thread, rusty bolts are easy with right equipment.

Those are not the only two options for that problem. Call Glen. He'll teach you something new.

GAZZUZZ:


oh ok, sorry just jumped to the first post.

thebigkendo:


If you ask me..Yes.. With the right tools/equipment at your disposal..rusted nuts & bults are no biggie

I encounter a lot of them at work.. Do you know 30 years old bolt weh no gree komot

But again... 0.8hrs stated by aunty Radu is for inspection not the getting dirty part

I Pity Oga rewire when he was removing my starter motor, that long bolt with powder!!! Blood flow.. We both swear for Honda that day
