Got some quotes on the TRD Supercharger install from 3 dealerships:
Toyota of Denton - 10,000$ parts and labor
Toyota of Dallas - 5750$ for the blower, 4500 for the labor
Toyota of Lewisville - 5750 for the blower, 1250 for the labor.
It amazes me how some service people are complete scumbags. The first question I asked these places was what their hourly rate was. All of them were around 119$ standard hourly rate. So when I got my 4500$ labor quote I asked them why it takes them close to 40 hours to install the blower and if they've done it before. The adviser was caught and retreated to saying, "sorry, thats the labor number my manager gave me".
The guys at Toyota of Lewisville were absolute studs. The advisor told me the standard 119$ hourly rate and said that drops down to 80$ for toyota accessories (like the blower, suspension, etc). He then called out the head tech that does all the installs and out of his busy schedule he took over 30 minutes to sit with me talking about his experiences with the install and ongoing maintenance. These guys will definitely get my business when my truck arrives from out of state next week.
