my wife just brought her A3 2.0T in because it was leaking antifreeze. The mechanic charged $350 for an OEM (Saleri brand) pump and 4hrs labor @ $115/hr. Does that sound like a reasonable price? The pump price seems ok but 4 hrs seems like a lot.
Thanks,

Steve

850lemans No I would say that that is within the range of reasonable for a pump replacement properly done.The hourly rate hurts but having owned a garage It's amazing how little profit is made at these kinds of rates and 4 hours sounds about right.
