Difference between the highest and lowest quote: –. Ask each shop about parts quality and warranty before you decide.
Common questions
Why do quotes for the same job differ so much?
Labor rates, how many hours a shop books for the job, new versus rebuilt parts, and shop fees all vary. Line them up to see where the difference comes from.
Should I always pick the lowest total?
Not always. Compare parts quality, warranty, turnaround time and the shop's reputation too.
