Benchmark needs get on here and give us some group discounts.

 

I agree.

19-hours of labor is NOT cheap . . .

 

19 hrs? Must be 18 hrs for reading instructions and 1 hr for installing. Get a Valentine 1 or get a lawyer for $250/ticket. J/K

 

It's actually not mine.

 

19 hours?! Wow. Must be at least $100 an hour, right?

 

It's a very involved process. I think they charge $85 an hour now.

 

^^ Well I wouldn't trust anyone to hack up a $70k car for cheap lol, you can't get dirt cheap and a good quality job.

 

lol discounts...Hugo has sold me about 5 cars worth of stuff...I've put his children through private college...actually if you work them you get a good deal on the right product

Well worth it. You won't know they've been there

You got 30 minutes I'll tell you a story about How I put Magnolia HiFi car stereo's out of business.....So I agree with this one

 

It's a tragic story, really. I cringed when I first heard it.

 

Some people THINK they can though... I didn't think cheap and quality could be used in the same sentence.

 

^^ You & I know that first hand lol.

 

Around the office we say "Fast, Inexpensive and High Quality . . . pick two."

 

Interesting. I had contacted them a while back to get an AVIC-D3 with it's Bluetooth adapter and iPod cable installed in my Boxster. I had picked it up at a steal through a friend (authorized dealer too) but since it was not purchased from Benchmark they refused to install it. I can understand them not being able to warranty items not purchased from them but I was still thinking they'd do the install. It's still not installed as I haven't taken the time to look for another shop that I'd trust doing the install. And since the Boxster is up for sale now I guess I should sell the AVIC-D3 and the parts as well.

 

most likely that was a sales ploy at a time that they couldn't keep up with installs. i always know when it's quiet at Benchmark because Hugo my sales guy calls to see what he can add to what car. When busy I rarely here from him.

don't install that fancy bluetooth.. Buy a Jawbone. Best by far headset one can buy. You can hear it in any of my cars and all of my truck drivers actually have them.

Sendero I bet they'd install it now

 

I think they're charging about $65/hour, I'm pretty sure that's what I paid recently. And I'm taking the Jeep in tomorrow for more. I can confirm.
Interesting about the equipment, they installed some of the stuff I pulled from my Caddy.
