Am I Getting Ripped Off?

I’m curious what would you pay in total for these services. I am getting quoted $980. It’s a DF-200GKD go kart. Pictures included.

1. 2 new rear tires
2. New brakes (including emergency break)
3. Attempt to straighten top frame (recently flipped kart)
4. Adjust transmission/clutch cables (gears not acting as they’re supposed to)
5. Front and Back fenders
6. Side view mirrors
7. Oil change
8. Wire 2 speakers and led lights to individual buttons so I can turn them off/on.
9. Alignment
10. Rear axle

If you can’t or won’t do it yourself then you have to pay.

If so not by a great deal. Probably $300 to $400 in parts( new retail ) and quite a bit of labor involved. Are you not capable of doing any of it yourself? Most businesses today have to charge near $100 per hour for each employee paid hour to cover overhead, wages, insurance, profit, shop rent, ect. Could easily be 5 to 8 hours work to complete your list.

Doesn't sound unreasonable. Probably le$$ than what it would cost to put windshield wipers on the mini in the driveway!

Good point about the overhead. It is expensive out there to maintain those cost and try to make a profit.
