I hope they are "fair" . My brakes have been squealing and all the supports for my muffler have been gone for a while. I bungeed it up for a while, but the heat melted them and now I guess its time to get it fixed for real.
They said an estimate would be $25 if I didn't have anything done, and they will be calling me and let me know how much it will be.
What would you estimate new brakes on a 1991 cavalier would be? I figure all 4 need replaced since I have had the car for 3 years and never had them checked. The muffler clips shouldnt be too much unless my muffler is bad too.
I'm hoping to get through this under $200
***UPDATE***
They said Muffler has a whole in it, Exhaust pipe is welded to muffler so it needs replaced to. (Its the original muffler from 1991 according to him). The strap/hardware, etc for all of that. He said the catalytic converter is rusted and honeycombed, needs completely replaced. About $400 dollars
Brakes:
Front brakes pads, shims, hardware, rotors, two calipers, hoses, both brake lines on both sides going to back. Cylinders on both the back ones, new pads, etc, etc, etc $1000
Total estimate- $1,490.93
KBB value on my car as a tradein- $300
KBB private party value- $800
Guess Im getting a new car?
Are these guys trying to F me over? (Yes, I think the car is really in that bad of shape)
