master cylinder labor estimate

Many shops will refuse to install a part from an outside supplier or will significantly mark up the labor if they do, part of their profit is on the sale of parts.

As for reasonable, I would expect it to be a couple hundred bucks depending on what car this is.

cost about $105 Australian dollars so about 25% less in the USA Labour about

Well, I'd have happily paid a mark-up, but not a 140% mark-up. I like to support the local, but that's just insulting. Hopefully won't get gouged on the price.

The car's an 86 240 sedan.

Thanks for the help.

I replaced the master brake cylinder on my '89 240 a couple years ago. It was $24 at local AutoZone, job took about an hour or so. Bleeding the brakes by the manual probably took longer than that!

Hello John:

Very tough question to answer without knowing the year and model of Volvo..and in which country and general area you reside.

Advise on that and I'll be better able to give an honest assesment if the shop is in the Northeast US or Canada.

If not I'll leave it to others.

Regards,

Doc
