Labor and Installation costs?
I would like to know how much you guys (and ladies) usually pay for installation. For example, I am thinking about getting an aftermarket transmission cooler for my auto tranny.
-How difficult would this installation be?
-Someone told me it takes 4 hours for a transmission cooler installation. The shop charges $40 per hour for labor. Is that a good rate? And does it really take 4 hours for the cooler? (It doesn't sound very believable).
-I'm gonna start modding my CL real soon. How easy of an install is cold air intake and short ram intake? I'll assume I should be able to do it in my garage.

However that time of 4 hours for the installation of the Tranny Cooler isn't right.
Comptech says 1-2 hours for the install. This may be why that shop can charge $40 an hour.

Wow, so $40 an hour is good =). It's a place called Banny's down in So-Cal. (San Diego ==> Mira Mesa if you know the area). I get my brakes and oil taken care of over there all the time. Nice people.
