hey thanks man so far AHQ has given me the best price quote by far, but they're in redwood city which is about twice as far as gruppe-s or mpj/gb.

thanks for all the suggestions guys i've talked to mpj, gruppe-s, and ahq and trying to see who will give me the best price on labor.

Is that the right number for AHQ? I called but it sounded like a lady's personal phone or something. I need a quote for a valve adjustment and to have them take a look at my clutch and see what's up ('01 RS).

Yeah, coulda been - there was a lawnmower running near me when I called, and it sounded like some lady saying to leave a message (sorta woulda expected a shop name or sumpin I guess.). Thanks!

guys, isn't it a bit impolite to be throwing around these quotes in the public forum?

I dunno, maybe it's not but usually we keep these things on the DL to respect the business.

As many shops in the bay area charge different flat labor rates and also different rates for different people and conditions, and their mechanics may have different skill levels, etc. it may be disrespectful to label them as a straight price vs. price comparison in public.

i never posted any figure or estimate i recieved on this thread out of respect for those businesses. i agree it's inappropriate that's why i didn't do it
