$350 for power window to be fixed?

[Macthc]

Just got off the phone with a repair shop and they said it would cost $350 for regulator/motor and an hour an half of work.. does that seem right?
I think thats a little steep.. any one have any input?

[GenDBlade]

dude i could buy a complete door for less than that

[Leung]

i have a sentece for you.

"TAS AUTO and a Haynes manual. "

you could go to that site order the regulator for your window and install it yourself for less than 90 bucks shipped.

This is nothing that you can't do yourself for the cost of parts and an hour of your time. There is a diy around here that I'll see if I can dig up for ya.

Aren't you glad there's a site like us haha...i say fuggem! DIY is the best route dood.

i knew it was high.. I just called the Honda shop here in town and they said

regulator = $91.18
motor = $256.57
and $145 for the labor.. LOL

I'm pretty sure I don't need a new motor for it... just the regulator.. it goes down about an inch and then starts that wonderful clicking/griding sound.

that is way too much...i would be pissed i got a new regulator and motor (one piece set) and did it my self...only took an hour and all i payed was $50 for the part

My passenger rear window did not work when I bought the car I went to the junk yard pulled the motor from another cb and installed into mine 1.5hrs total time

[Macthc]

is there a DIY anyone wants to hook me up with? I got my door off and looked around once before.. but idk how to change all that out. thanks for the feed back

The Genuine Honda parts are quite expensive. Even from TASauto they're about $300. You can get a full aftermarket assembly for about $75-$100 if you shop around. I have 2 aftermarket ones, and I'm less than happy with the performance... but they do work.

If you want it done right, that quote is actually pretty fair, if they're using Honda parts. If you want it done cheap, and working... somewhat... You can get off for a 3rd of that price and do it yourself. The installation is fairly easy.

I was talking to my dad and he said pretty much the same thing.. we took it to the honda shop just to get a regulator so I could do it my self and my dad said "just let them do it" so I'm like.. pssh aight then they call like 45 minutes later and said I need the motor too! WTF?! so I'm about to pull the plug on the whole thing and say forget it because its like 500 for everything.. and theres no way I wanted to pay that much. Then my dad says "don't worry about it". This is awesome.. I'm getting my window fixed with honda parts.. and I don't have to pay a dime.

And before you call me spoiled because my dad picked up the check.. I usually pay for all my repairs but for some reason he said don't worry about it. So I'm stoked!
