Does This Cost Sound Right?

[blinkboy]

Just wanted some advice I am getting my car Tuned in Canberra at ESP

They quoted me around $1400 for the following: ( I am supplying my parts myself Ie capa box, springs injectors and pump)

Injectors installed

valve Springs installed

Fuel Pump installed

And a Tune

Does that sound right? for that price... we are limited for tuners here in canberra

thanks guys

Have you tried Gentech ? Mickus ( MS 700 ) entrusts his XC monster to them and speaks highly of their work. Also they are site sponsors

I got quotes for the exact same thing recently from 3 forum sponsors up here in Sydney. 1 said they would get back to me and never did, 1 was way more expensive what you got quoted and the other was slightly cheaper than that. Can you guess who I went with?

Gen tech quoted me 2030$ for the exact same thing, they want 990$ for a tune, which I think is a rip,

I got my exhaust and CAI done by them quite a few months ago, and said it would be fine to drive around with till I get a tune, now since I called them they are saying that they did not say that and do not recommend it. it cost me 3000 for a xforce exhaust and cai installed, no tune.

Blinkboy, AS YOU SAID you were getting a tune done the following week, so we @ gentech said drive the vehicle @ own risk! When we quote x force systems or any other system, we quote for turbo flange studs & nuts for the dump pipe & the turbo base stud & nuts because there normally broken or not there!

I welcome you to get a tune done for $550 or less! but please give us a call when you need full custom tune &/or a new engine................

It actually came down to 500$ for the tune I recieved compared to the 990$.

And I was told "should be fine" about the exhaust at gen tech. . I was not told about any nuts or bolts that were needed . all in all I ended up paying 2999$ for that and the CAI. And you kept my Original exhuast...

I am sure you guys do great work there and I have heard many great things about Gentech, but way to expensive for what it is, you should really have your prices comparable to sydney prices. which are way more realistic.

I didnt start this thread to have a go at Gen Tech, another forum member asked me about "gentech" so I replied with my experince of it.
