I have a 2013 Chevy Cruze and need the turbo replaced. They quoted me about $1100. Is this too much? Should I look elsewhere? I need to travel for Christmas, about 350 miles, and need it fixed before then. I can’t repair it myself due to lack of tools, but I do have some mechanical knowledge.
If you’re willing to work on it, you might find tool rental shops. Replacing a turbo is usually a straightforward job if you have some mechanical knowledge.
My uncle is knowledgeable and could help me out. He taught me a lot of basics like changing brakes and oil.
With your uncle’s help, you could probably manage it. I helped someone replace a turbo on a similar engine, and it was done in about an hour. Just make sure to watch some tutorial videos first.
That price isn’t outrageous for a dealer, but you might save money by doing it yourself with your uncle’s help. Just ensure you have all the necessary parts before starting.
Thanks for the tips! I’ll definitely consider working with my uncle on this.
