Called the closest dealer to me and they basically told they weren't interested in installing any performance/upgrade kits so they couldn't give me a labor estimate. Need to find a dealer that's not afraid to install GM upgrades....

I had a dealer tell me the same thing, went to another dealer.

Oh and the 1st dealer lost their GM franchise.

Yeah I think the one I called is on their way out....hope they won't wonder why when it happens.

Ended up calling NuCar Chevrolet in New Castle Delaware. The guy was pretty cool, said they've down a handful of them. Estimated about $180 for the install.

That's about right on the money for a labor charge.

It floors me that some dealers don't understand the basics of customer service.

Maybe the job is a pain in the a$$ and/or maybe they even lose a few dollars on it - do they not see any value in making a customer happy?

The closest dealer to me told me 380$ a couple days ago. I have 3 other dealers to check now.

I just came across the same thing in Fredericksburg, VA. I'm checking with other dealers.

Second that. My local dealer charges a flat rate of 2hrs. My neck of the woods is a little more expensive because of the regional pricing (100 per hr). But there's no surprises and they've been over the road for all stage kits (i.e. supercharged Cobalts; turbocharged Cobalts/HHRs).

Try Win Kelly in Clarksville MD. 1.5 hours labor cost which I think worked out to either $163 or $173 bucks.
