stage one installation
 

Does anybody know the cost of the stage one installation. my dealer in CT says its a 3 hour installation, Thats a lot of change plus the 600.00 cost of the kit. help!

It's not 3 hours. Parts & Labor should only run about $750

:twothumbs:I paid $477 +tax at gmpartsdirect.com and my dealer charged $190 for install.

Normal time for this install is 2.0 hours. Depends on labor rate as to dollars. It's $160 at our accessory install rate. If we charged door rate it would be $206. Most dealers do everything at their door rate. Smart ones that want to get the accessory business, charge less on the accessory installs.

I was under the impression that the dealer cant charge more then what it calls for. I paid 150 for install when i got mine. Ive had it since a week after it was released

Dealers are independent businesses. They can charge what ever they want on retail transactions.

My service advisor looked up the rate in a book, and I paid $80 for complete installation. I got the kit from Gene Culley for $240.

TSB quotes 2 hours to install....if your dealer charges for more, your paying for their training, plain and simple. I paid under $125 for the dealer who sells the package (gmpartsdirect) to install if for me.

35K later and still running strong.

Got mine included in the transaction to buy the car seems like everything costs more here they started with a 890.00 quote settled at 620 the auto is a whole different car with / without it

Give the guys at Gengras Chevrolet a call (they're in Hartford). They did my install (I was their 2nd or 3rd GMTU install) and were VERY fair on the install charge. Tell them I sent you to them.
