Dealer Quotes

[Gator Whiskers]

Good morning!
I am letting a dealer service center deal with my truck. (Long story.)
They quoted me $8,300 to replace all lifters and camshaft!!!
I realize that it's Hawaii, and EVERYTHING here is expensive but that's a bit extreme.... (in my opinion.)
Has anybody else had this done at a chrysler/jeep/dodge service center? And if so, are these guys way out of line?

Not sure how it is there however avoid dealers for all major work unless its under warranty try to find a local shop or it will be way over priced personally here I do camshaft jobs for $2300.

Yeah, thats way overpriced…I have no clue on how much parts would cost shipping there, but definitely not that. All in for parts is usually under $2500 from my research and this varies with what mfg & oem vs performance.

I usually do avoid stealerships, but there are very few mechanics here that deal with anything other than routine, high-volume stuff. (oil changes, brakes, belts...)
Parts were just under $3K to get the oem stuff shipped here, including a new timjng chain and gaskets and whatnot

For that kind of money it would be a whole new engine. New engine is $6500
