Default How much should it cost for gear installation?

Hey guys, i got a quote from one of the only places i can find in the greater boston area that can install a set of 4.10s into my 05.

They want $700 for labor alone, including installation for the t-lok.

Is this too expensive? if anyone from the boston area knows of a good shop to bring it to, please let me know

Thanks!

that is a rip off. I've never paid over 200 bucks and i've had probably around 10 total gear swaps with all my stangs, some of that in different states. Shouldn't charge you at all for putting in a T lok either, no different then taking out the stock open diff, cause it has to come out also, so no difference there.

My friend just got a 02 GT and was quoted $1000 for 3.73 and I was like that's way high I think that the quote includes parts and labor but if that's the case I think that it is a competitive price what do you guys think.

my install of an 8.8 was 320.00 plus tax. Took them along time bc a part was left out but still gave me a decent price.
