heater core installed in g/f Taurus
I finally broke down and decided to have the heater core replaced in my g/f Taurus. Since I really didn't want to tear into a job like that, I took it to a Ford dealership and I think I got an excellent price on it too.
I paid $304 and I bought the core myself for them to install. It was 5.5 hrs of labor @ $50/hr. I told them not to bother recharging the A/C. Did that save me a lot of cash telling them that? Just thought I would post this in case anyone wants a ballpark figure on a dealership doing it for them. Since I don't drive my mustang in the winter, I'm going to wait until spring and do that myself unless I feel lazy and have an extra $300 laying around..:D |
That's a really good deal. Book time is over 8 hours.
BTW, your Mustang isn't half as much work as the Taurus. :) Take care, ~Chris |
I've seen people do heater cores in tauruses....they look like the devil to do. As far as i know tauruses are one of the worst vehicles out there besides some BMW's.
$50 an hour is an awesome rate, up here near seattle it's $85 an hour. |
