Steering Wheel Swap

Just ordered a new wheel from DCT, what should I expect to pay the dealer in labor for the swap?

There is a good independent shop in town, I will also get them to quote. Prefer the dealer do it though.

Please don't suggest doing it myself, not going to happen.

They'd probably charge you an hour of labor. Anywhere from $115-$150.

if you are in Miami, I would do it for free. it takes longer to disconnect the battery than to actually swap the steering wheel...

Appreciate it dude - maybe I will get the same offer in Scottsdale / PHX.

One hour sounds about right from my location. The most outrageous quote I ever heard of was from a guy on Plant 9. His dealer told him it would cost $500 to put a paddle wheel on his car.

Dealer in SF Bay area charged me something in the $200-$250 range to swap out my button wheel for the paddle one. There was some sort of software update/upgrade they had to do as well as the physical swap.
