I will have a professional install it, just not the local Land Rover because they have been screwing me around and over charging me on basic repairs the past 6 months . I dished out amost $5k in June and when I brought it back for what seem to be a siminar minor issue, they wanted to charged me another $4-$5k so I bought it to independant garage where they quoted me less then $1k. These prices do not include the cost to replace the air suspension bag. Just l;ooking where to source one because I do not want to give them any more money.
because each individual dealer has a different mark up price, at my old dealer ship they got a rebuilt arnott air spring for $215 and sold it to customers for $880 if a local shop had a resale account through them they sold it to them for $680. Can you say rip off? arnott sales them for $274 if you buy it from them. Dealers are just greedy
Wow, your dealer parts manager raped people as well? Hell the other dealer I worked at couldn't believe it. Just because you are the only dealer in the area doesn't mean the customer should take it up the ass. Sure the commercial guy should pay but not the customer that the service dept needs. You know your parts prices are to high when the service advisors don't like you cause your high prices cut into their commission checks when the customers go elsewhere.
