That's probably their per hour labor cost. I can't see how welding in subframes would take any longer than 30 minutes. I'd try the old cash negotiation tactic -"could you do $100 cash?"I was quoted $150 by a local muffler shop for labor.
That's outrageous even if they did everything themselves. I would sand the touch points in order to ensure a good weld, bolt them in and drive to the business. All they have to do is put your car on a lift and weld.Thanks guys, local speedshop here in TN wants like $400 to do the install.. which is the reason why i asked.. i'm not sure how he's getting to that point, and re-confirming that he understands that i have the MM SFCs.. if that is labor only then i'm most likely going to find someone else.
Yep, shop rates are $140 an hour.. they do amazing work, ton of fast and quality stuff that comes out of the shop.. but to your point, they are only welding, not anything else..That's outrageous even if they did everything themselves.

Not a bad idea, but i'd rather the first job not be my subframes...I was quoted $250-300 up here in Boston. I bought the MM subframes myself.
I bought a wekder with that money instead
Yep, i get that and want to have a quality job done.. just seems a bit on the high side to think that they'll spend 3 hours on it. I can probably do most of the initial work that the convertible requires over a coupe/hatch with the full length connectors that is above and beyond a normal process. 400-500 just seemed high to me.The 200-300 dollar range, be fair when negotiating, start out with the quoted shop price, then say 'I pay cash'. For a hundred dollars they ain't gonna spend much time on it. Remember, welding is like anything else, there are steps to doing it right.

Body shops.Hey guys.....I have been trying to find someone to weld on my MM full length connectors here in McDonough, GA. I can't find anybody willing to do the welding. Is it normally a muffler shop that will do it? I need to find somebody but have been rejected a bunch of times now. I didn't think it would be this hard to find someone. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ken
