About our Auto Repair Estimates:
RepairTrust models established fair pricing practices (as outlined in its eBooks and vehicle maintenance software), and uses state-of-the-art auto repair estimating software plus 20 years of auto repair pricing expertise to obtain the most accurate and fair car repair estimates.
In regard to part prices, aftermarket part price quotes are based off premium parts, unless otherwise noted.
The l abor rate defaults to $100.00 per hour, unless otherwise noted. The 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 car repair estimates are subject to change without notice.
Glossary of common auto repair terms:
Auto repair estimates are often a jumble of acronyms and confusing language. Below is a short reference for your convenience:
Aftermarket parts: auto parts not made by or for a manufacturer such as Ford, Toyota, BMW ...etc. These are non OEM parts.
MSRP: Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price
OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer. Parts built by or for the manufacturer. They're the parts your car came with when new.
TSBs: Technical Service Bulletins. Notes and information from the manufacturer about known issues (these are not recalls)
Flat Fees: services such as alignments and machine work that don't get broken down into parts, tax, and labor
Miscellaneous charges: these can include, but are not limited to shop supplies - rags, chemicals, hazardous waste, disposal fees, waste oil ...etc.
What you'll notice about the estimates below (compared to an invoice from your auto repair shop) is the complete break down of charges. Breaking down the charges is the best way to ensure you're getting treated fairly.
Remember this is a small sample of auto repair estimates, if you don't find what you're looking for, we can provide an exact estimate for your vehicle.
We would caution you not to apply any of the following prices to your situation unless it's an exact match. There are just too many variables and hundreds of thousands of auto repairs and procedures at any given time.

If the converter was just rattling around (broken internally) the way so many do, then diagnostics should be waived. |

Notes: this estimate is very unique in that this vehicle is an antique, making labor guides virtually obsolete and/or unreliable. At the same time, given the age of the automobile, specific precautions need to be taken. Most importantly, is finding a repair facility qualified to work on this vehicle. Labor rates and times from a qualified source will be at a premium. This estimate reflects such a source, and cautions that significant adjustments may be required. |

Notes: see comments below regarding age and mileage. Diagnostics are not included and could exceed 1 hour depending on vehicle's initial condition. Also, consider a used distributor - these can be found as low as $150 to $225. Distributor prices range from $600 to $100 for this vehicle. Generally, they fall in the high $200's.
Important, many distributors advertised for this vehicle are INCORRECT. |

Notes: this estimate does not include diagnostics, which, if required, should not exceed 1.0 ($80). Please see notes below regarding age and mileage below.
Aftermarket fuel pumps are readily available and range in price from $75 to $120. However, they do not come with the complete assembly (base plate, hardware, lines), which, given the age and mileage may require replacement. If the existing fuel pump unit is is good shape (rust/corrosion free), then an aftermarket pump will be fine. Generally, however, it's best to use OEM.
Estimate with aftermarket pump: $338.14 (includes parts, tax, and labor) |

| Notes: machining the rear drums is often not needed in that they are usually not out of round. However, there may be a rust ridge, which should be sanded and ground off for a nominal charge - if any. Rear brake hardware is not included in this estimate, but is usually ok. More savings can be had by using aftermarket parts, but these often cause issues - squeaks, noises. |

However, replacement of the rear brake drums "may" be required if below specifications ($89.25 ea, MSRP - also consider used).
Given the age and mileage, consider a used master cylinder for $60 - give or take. The master cylinder quoted is for a brake system with ABS. |
