CD Changer Installed - Labour Costs.

I have called two dealers here and they are saying 1.8 or 2.2 hours to install the CD Changer. Can that be correct? I know the units are prewired already, how in the world could it take this long.

Anyone else have any info re: this?

That is their book value and that is what they will hit you for. In reality, it should be no more then an hour for them including the "programming". BTW, I hope you got the NEW cd changer that can play mp3's. The Dundas dealer did NOT have the new one the last time I checked.

Remember that the time quoted is from the flat rate manual. Anytime the mechanic comes in in less time than the book, he gets paid for it. The mechanic makes money, the house pushes more cars thru. The job has to be done right though because the mechanic gets penalized for "comebacks".
