Notes: this estimate does not include diagnostics, which, if applicable, should not exceed 1.0 hour. Also, the aftermarket intake assembly quoted above includes a thermostat.
Given the age and mileage of the vehicle, a used intake may work just fine.
Intake prices: New MSRP: $1146.40. Used: $50 to $250. Aftermarket: $250 - $450
NOTE: there is a recall on intake manifolds for certain years, makes, models, engines. The vehicle listed above "may" be applicable for replacement by an authorized dealer at no charge, or, if the repairs are already done, reimbursement from Ford/authorized dealer. Reimbursement will likely be less than this estimate, as this will be paid via warranty guidelines - not a retail repair rate.
Recommendation: call a local Ford dealer to determine if this vehicle falls under the recall
See notes below regarding older/higher mileage vehicles... |
Glossary of Terms:
Aftermarket: parts not made by the manufacturer such as Ford, Toyota, BMW ...etc.
MSRP: Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price
OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer
TSBs: Technical Service Bulletins provided by the manufacturer (they are not recalls)
Flat Fees: services such as alignments that don't get broken down into parts, tax, labor
Miscellaneous Charges: these can include, but are not limited to shop supplies--rags, chemicals, hazardous waste disposal fees, waste oil ...etc. |
About our auto repair estimates: RepairTrust models established fair pricing practices (as outlined in its eBook Trilogy), and uses state-of-the-art auto repair estimating software and 20 years of auto repair pricing expertise to obtain the most accurate and fair car repair estimates.
Aftermarket part price quotes are based off premium parts, unless otherwise noted.
The labor rate defaults to $100.00 per hour, unless otherwise noted.
Tax rate defaults to 5%, parts only, unless otherwise stated.
Estimates are dependent on customer-supplied information, and can not account for unforeseen circumstances.
High mileage and/or older vehicles often require additional parts and/or labor to complete repairs properly, thus estimates may need to be adjusted.
All estimates are subject to change without notice. |
