i've been looking for machine shop in San Diego, California to do some simple mill work. I have two brake caliper mounting brackets that need to be milled 1/8th off the back side of the mounts. All the shops i've called have quoted me around 65 to 95. WTF!

here is an example of what needs to be done. (pic's taken from HMT. for ref.)

65-95 is about right for that. Quit being a cheap ***

 

Im not in CA but about 60 bucks is what I would expect to pay for that.

 

damn i surely thought this would be a lot cheaper. i guess it's what i got to do.

 

$60 is what i charge for a pair. $50 to redrill a pair of rotors that go with them.

 

old rusty

 

I second not being such a cheap ***, just because you found pictures on the interweb does not mean its free.

 

what the hell does the pics and free have anything to do with it? i am using the pictures to give an idea of what kind of work needs to be done. so i can get a respectful idea on what i should be charged. other words, i want to know whats the going price. but thanks.

 

I wouldn't mill those for less than $65 unless it was friday afternoon and you showed up with beer. Than it would likely cost beer.

 

now that's what i'm talking about. that's how my old muffler shop was. i'd just show up give him a 20 , and case of beer. Of course i would hang out as well and shoot the ****.

 

yeah, alot of those places are disappearing, i really dont know why, but those places have there ups and downs.

 

if you were over here we would do it for a 20 and beer, too bad your not closer we need more beer at the shop

 

where is here?

 

i built a a/c saver ramhorn kit for a b16 si for $150 and 3 cases of beer (parts provided of course). well worth it too.

 

you guys sound like a bunch of lushes... LOL! someone told me never trust a mechanic that doesn't drink.
