$$$ to drill spot welds?

[dagcakes]

I was quoted $89 per side to drill the strut tower spot welds, not including the alignment, which I need. Is this outrageous, or is it me?

Outrageous.

Yeah, it's a few minutes to drill three holes in each side. That's all there is to it.

Or a couple of second with an air chisel...

In any case, that's way too much money. I think often it's just considered part of the alignment process and shouldn't increase the cost of the alignment.

That's insane!!! Buy yourself a drill if you don't have one, and DIY it. This is literally a 15 minute job!

Personally, I would also go elsewhere to get my alignment done......this place sounds like they are very willing to rip you off, and that price quote is just insulting.

Go elsewhere...a rip off with more "excu$e$" to follow.

When they told me the cost for the drilling, my jaw hit the floor, and needless to say, they won't be getting my alignment business. And they had the nerve to say that wasn't even "book" cost for doing the drilling! I've got the drill, and I'll save the $178 for other mods instead!!!

Yea, you can do that yourself no problem-o
