Anyone have any Viper shops in the Dallas, Tx area that they can recommend?

Bobby Archer, Viper Speed in downtown Fort Worth. Nice work, but pricy.

Jim,
Dallas Dodge, LBJ Fwy, exit 13
David Koegl @ 214-319-1214 he'll take good care of you!

Hi Chuck...........I'm taking your advice and using Dallas Dodge. Thanks.

 

[jimster]

FYI....David Koegl is no longer with Dallas Dodge.

call Keith Laxton... ( in Lewisville )

probably one of the best Viper tech's in the USA..

cellular (214) 674-9340

Spoke to Keith. I was quoted for $480 for the spring installation. Alignment wasn't included.

Keith is great.

At the time of the VOI he was the "Service Drive Manager" and at that time when I had a problem they took very good care of me! I know [at that time] they had two very good Viper Techs and I think one of them was Russ?

$480 is way out of the park! I don't know who Keith is but at $98 per hour is what I'm at, that means 1.2 hours per corner! If I took that long I'd be looking for a new job! Two hours MAX to change all four springs and then maybe two to four hours for the alignment? My 2cents.

Dallas Dodge quoted me $300 to do the front two springs. They said the rears would be extra. The guy that quoted me that price is named Rick. He's at David Koegls old number, 214-319-1214.

Chuck...do you have a manual that lists shop time for labor?

Kieth has never been cheap.

What's a matter with these Dealers!! Maybe I should charge more>>>NOT! I like sleeping at night!

In my DC Warranty book it gives 0.8 hrs for one front spring and I have done them in a lot less time then that!

I don't know what to tell you Jim? Road trip to me?

[jimster]

Didn't Velocity get sold?

 

[VIPERSTUDIO]

Brad and Darren sold it to another guy. Apparently they still work on Vipers.
