Conley's Performance: Hidden charges
 

Maybe I'm wrong and this is normal pricewise now but I just thought I would mention it. I went to Conley's to have some parts put on my Z28. I only got a quote for the headers which I was told would be $400 which I thought was normal. Now I may be wrong but at every other place I've been to, installing headers means removing the stock exhaust & spark plugs, then installing the headers. Not here, they charged me $400 for the header install, $75 to remove my stock exhaust, & $40 to install my new spark plugs, which is all stuff that is normally included from the other places I've been to. I know on my WS6 I was charged $350 at Madman & Co to take off my stock exhaust, install new headers, y-pipe, catback, & install my new plugs & wires
I REALLY should have gotten a quote on everything first because I got charged $240 for the drill mod, $344 to install my new shocks,& $320 for my poly motor mount install. Again maybe these prices are normal these days but when I modded my WS6 5 years ago, prices weren't even close to that. Was I ripped off cuz it feels like it. I won't be going there again

Its seems that you would think that a "Header install" includes all the necessary labor required to install a set of headers.

you got screwed. if they told me $400 and threw that extra crap in i would be pissed.

They seem like high prices to me....

those added prices are some bullshit

Our labor rate for a header install on a F-body is $350. That includes putting in plugs and wires.

seems kinda high to me.

1419$ just for the install on those parts? :eek2:

thats an a$$load of money. there is nothing there that you couldnt do yourself man.

Sucks to hear that man. I was going to get them to install my springs, LCAs, and PHR, but I may reconsider my options.

Wow that sucks bro, like you said you should have gotten a quote or got a few buddies to help you, that stuff is easy.

I've been talking to Steven for the past week. Everything in my sig that says coming soon is going on next week at his shop. He's been a great guy to deal with

Cottens > Conleys

those prices are WAY to high

or you could send him or josh a PM? just another quick option. :)

holy crap, my prices are half that.

jesus christ. $40 dollars to install spark plugs. It take about ten minutes with a lift

Do that shit yourself, I could have it done in an evening taking my time and have done so with friends multiple times!

Sorry, I will send a PM.

I would except for I don't have any friends I trust working on my car with me. My dad doesn't like me doing the more intensive mods like this at home either & my apartment doesn't let me work on my car. lol

Bullshit!
