-currently looking to get my S/C installed-

so far i called:

-stevens creek - $1700 for install
-piercy toyota - $1750 for install 12-13 hrs
-capitol toyota - $913 7-8 hrs



-if i knew it was gonna cost this much to install, there really wasn't any point in buying it and i might just send it back.... =\

 

The dealership is gonna get you man, they tried to charge me 400 dollars to install some springs.

 

Its not going to be cheap @ a dealership. Call stevens creek back and ask for Dave Gillie. He is a scion friendly tech, and the only toyota tech I trust to touch my tC.

Back in the day when i got my S/C installed, it was only $800, but that was at Tracy Toyota where I bought my tC and bought the S/C (and it was the month that the S/C was released)

 

LMFAO $1700 for the install!!!

a 10 hour job and they're charging $170 p/h ! LMFAO!

 

damn i was really happy about getting this, but i wasn't expecting the install price to skyrocket, im just about to cut my losses and send it back to trdsparks. ill be out of pocket $450 =\

 

 

no, do your research, if anything just install it yourself and have the dealer reflash it for a MUCH lower fee

 

-i dont have all the tools for the install

-ive already emailed trdsparks about returning my S/C

-=and just got a another phone call from i think piercy toyota for $1750 for 12-13 hr job =\


-to talke to dave do i just ask for him, from the service department?

 

i just noticed you live in CALI....CALI!!!!!! there are so many shops and dealers that can do this for you SOO much cheaper....call shops to install the s/c then get it reflashed at a dealer

 

yea call every shop possible but dont just have any one do it make sure they know what there getting into,,,make sure the shop you choose has done some similar jobs just gotta do the homework....doing it yourself i wouldnt recommend ill drive you crazy

 

Yes, he is at the Stevens Creek Toyota, in the service department. Make sure to ask for Dave Gillie, since there is another Dave that works in the parts department.

 

-ok so TRD sparks won't take it back now......wow =\ cuz its discontinued. just my luck right.....icing on the cake trdsparks does installs for $550....OMG wtf?

-do u guys know of any reputable shops that you guys trust for an install....i was thinking maybe precision muffler since i know lots of tcs have made it to their shop before?



-for dave gille, the tech, i gotta go down to S.C. toyota to talk to him personally huh? cuz i tried calling..... lol yeah im nub

 

Www.projectimport.com try them there the best n they give u guarantee for the job they do...

 

-something a little bit closer? im in the bay, not so cal, thanks for helping though.

 

you can take it to maita toyota here in sac. it was where i got mine installed. they have done over 7 of them at least. cost me $900 and i insisted on a free rental for the day which i recieved so really it was more like $800. oh and ask for the orange team if you do. thats the team that did mine. for almost half the price of what your quoted in the bay i think its worth the 2 hour drive from san jose

 

-sac isn't too far of a drive since my rents have a house out in rancho.

-from the looks of it, i think capitol toyota in san jose quoted me for $913 for about 7-8 hr job, they've done 2 of them. and they are just like 10 mins away from me.

-i did call dave gille, but he wanted to help, but couldn't do too much for me. Still I think he is amazing guy if he is being refered by other Sl members, grats to that.

-now im just gotta get paid, which means the SC is going to be just sitting in the living room collecting dust for now

 

well there you go then. kool. hope you get it on soon.

 

-yeah took a while to get my answer, well it won't be installed untill probably after june

 

are you willing to give it to smaller shops around the area? Im in SJ too and I have a few friends that drive for smaller shops. I can ask around if you'd like

 

-if they know what there doing, yeah sure, that would be great... so far capital toyota has the lead
