I just got my 91 Explorer back from the mechanic today - had a rebuilt engine put in. The price was $2387 for the engine and $562.50 to install it. I received a pamphlet from the company that rebuilt the engine - ATK engines.
Out of curiosity, I looked up their web site and called them.
I was surprised to find that I could have gotten the exact same engine delivered to my (or a mechanic's) door for $1895!
Does a nearly $500 markup for merely making a phone call to ATK seem an unreasonable fee for my mechanic to charge me for this engine?
