my brother is at 36,8xx miles and his clutch went bad. toyota of waldorf wants 1200 for installl and parts to get a new clutch. anyone know anything local or semi local that will be cheaper? never needed a new clutch before so i dont know what they normally run that seems like a lot.

probably not too helpful, but the actual clutch is cheap. the install is what kills.

I just put one in my girlfriend's car last weekend, and LET ME TELL YOU, on a fwd car, that labor is worth every penny.

I do know a guy that was selling a 500 gift cert for an act clutch for 200 bucks, so pm me if you need me to look into that.

 

he has a 2005 tC. thanks black xb
no doubt its worth every penny. thats just a lot of pennies.
thanks also cherry box. ill ask him and see what up.

 

most clutch jobs call for at least 8 to 10 hours of labor. With more dealerships labor rates running around 100 bucks an hour these days, 1200 bucks doesnt seem too unreasonable.

 

1200 isn't unreasonable for a new clutch
like the others said, your paying for labor really, not the parts
parts are cheap, its about 9-11hrs labor times avg. of 94.90 per hour
you'll be ranging from 1000-1200 from most local toyota dealerships

call bobby ward @ 355 Toyota, 301 340 0900
tell him you are a friend of dave scott, see what he can do for your bro

 

thanks a lot. he's calling today

 

my shop said 892.95 thats using toyota parts... disc, pressure plate, and throw out bearing.

 

wow much cheaper. where are u located?

 

we're located at:::: 11177 New Hampshire Ave
Silver spring Md 20904

 

yea he's goin the non toyota dealership route. they wont guarantee the work (assuming cause its the clutch) he was told only if it falls apart will it be covered
