2017 Jeep Wrangler. Customer requested Brake Masters to replace failed lifter (which is a common repair on Mopar Engines) they gave her an initial estimate after diagnostic and arranged drop off for repairs. After vehicle was dropped off she then received a call stating she needed an entire engine. New quote exceeded $13,000, $10,000 for a used engine and new fluids, $3000 for labor. She reached out to us with request for new engine quote with labor, engine cost with 0 miles was $4871 after tax and shipping. Total after engine, fluids and labor was only $6000.
We requested to do a diagnostic of the vehicle before jumping to the swap and found only 1 lifter was failed and all claims by Brake Masters were wrong and seemed more of a money grab. Job total with extra fluids for transmission was $2300. Replaced all valves and rockers and examined the other internal components. Vehicle is working as new!!
