We finally got our alternator replaced at the dealer and he also replaced the timing chain. My question is, what is the total labor hours (in the book) for both individually and what is the savings in labor hours to do both? I am on a tight budget and cannot afford to pay the dealer more than he should be paid. Thanks >We finally got our alternator replaced at the dealer and he also >replaced the timing chain.

At the moment, I don't hav access to a labor guide, but that's pretty much immaterial, since eac shop sets their own times and rates anyway. Our standard time for the timing belt on this engine is 6.0 hours. Removing the alternator additionally requires at least discharging the a/ and disconnecting the battery and alternator cables. I'd say another 1. hours or so in addition would be fair. Normally, we'd charge about 3. hours for just the alternator - Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.htm > We finally got our alternator replaced at the dealer and he also > replaced the timing chain.

It's a little too late now that the work is done. What are you going to do not pay it? Then you won't get your car back. >>> We finally got our alternator replaced at the dealer and he also >>> replaced the timing chain.

Then you won't get your car back. I was billed full book price for changing spark plugs (no minor thing in an XG350) and full book price for replacing a bad fuel injector. I went in and talked to them, it turned out that it was a billing mistake. They corrected the problem and I got a good chunk of money back. There are still a few honest shops out there. >> We finally got our alternator replaced at the dealer and he also >> replaced the timing chain.

That would be true if I indeed had not asked about it previously, which I had done. But then my wife ended up taking the car in to get the work done. Sometimes women do still get taken advantage of in car repair situations, so before I went to pick it up I wanted to know. Thank you everybody for giving me a straight answer. Not! Goodbye! >>> We finally got our alternator replaced at the dealer and he also >>> replaced the timing chain.

Not! Goodbye! So your inarticulate immaturity in a business transaction extends to social settings as well? In most states a "mechanic's lean" would be permitted and you would be paying in order to get the car released or ending up n court. i fear you will likely need to learn the hard way. >>>> We finally got our alternator replaced at the dealer and he also >>>> replaced the timing chain.

You ASSume I wouldn't pay either way. It is one thing to be cheated and not know it. It is entirely different to be cheated and know it. At least you can tailor your future business decisions based on your knowledge of the other guy you are doing buisiness with. For inastance, I do know I would never do business with you! > So your inarticulate immaturity in a business transaction extends to > social settings as well?

You're obviously STILL learning the same way when it comes to spelling. You can't even spell "lien" correctly and you're blasting the other guy? Oh wait, perhaps you meant the mechanic would "lean" on the car so the owner couldn't move it. I get it now. You articulated that very well, I just missed it.
