2000 Chevy Express van!!
65k miles..
Just got a call saying the intake maniford needs to be replaced (lower manifod gasket)
PLUS the following work.. needs to be done. How does the pricing look. This is through another vendor not a dealer as out local dealership is hit and miss here..
Two front rotors: $140.98 each = $281.96
Two front break pads: $49.70 each = $99.40
New Master cylinder: $287.99
Rear breakshoes: $119.73
Total parts: $836.97 Total labor: $511.50
He also said that we need to replace the lower Manifold gasket. The part itself costs about $90.00 and the labor is approximately 510.00 for this part alone.
Power steering pump replacement: $200.00 for the part and $170.00 for the labor.
If you want to repair everything, the total will be right around: $2320 to $2400.00
Should just throw this thing out.. No doubt the techs drive it hard??
I think I would ask a few more questions! Like why does the master cylinder and rotors need replacement? Why does the power steering pump need replacement? Some repair shops would rather replace parts in stead of lets say machine rotors. My last chevy went 250k with the same master cylinder. I did replace the fluid several times. The engine in your vehicle is fuel injected make sure your comfort level is good before you let them rip the intake off this thing. There are sensors,injectors and other componets and wiring that have to handled and carefully reinstalled. You might conside a second opinion.
