300zx experienced shops in CA?

Question

i have a 93 300zx NA. the throttle body coolant hose has a leak, and the engine constantly overheats due to water escaping through this hose. i took it to two different repair shops (dealer and independent) and was quoted the same price to repair it-$1650. i realize that its not the part that costs so much, its the labor. are there any shops in the southern CA area (i live in long beach) that can repair this for a significantly lower cost? or is this the average quote for performing this job?

Answer 1

I don't know but why don't ya buy the parts and do it yourself?
