As some of you know I'm in the process of dropping my engine/tranny for a new clutch and all the "while you're in there stuff". One of the many projects is to rebuild the fuel injectors and have them cleaned and flow tested. Well, I called BF and they told me they send all their injectors to SD Carb. I stopped by there today and was told the service was $45/injector...at first I was like and then I was like because I almost laughed at the guy. I asked if that was the price he charged BF and he said yes. I asked what he did for his fee and he told me in so many words that he had the only ANSI bench testers in San Diego and that his service did include rebuilding (o-rings, basket, caps, etc.) the units...what that told me was he doesn't have any competition and can charge what he can get away with. I told him his price sounded high and I was sure I could get it done for half that...kind of waiting for him to drop his price...but he said, "sorry, that is what I get for the job". Now, I'm not saying anything bad about SD Carb at all, I'm sure they do great work and the guy I dealt with was very nice and did tell me who not to use; however, that is a rediculous price for some basic work. So, I picked up my injectors and walked out.
I know, what's my point already! Well, I found a place in GA that will do the exact same service for $15/injector. I checked a couple references along with the standard google trash search and all checked out. The place is Fuel Injector Restoration Service. So, for anyone thinking of rebuilding your injectors, just know you have options at a fraction of what one of the local places charges. Hope that helps someone down the road.
Best,
Adam
