C8 Header Change Price/Labor Hours
I wasn't sure where to post this but I recently got the OEM headers replaced with a set of ARH headers. I had purchased the headers myself and gotten them shipped to the shop because I didn't have the tools to do it myself. My issue lies in the fact that due to the shop owner being sick he had my car for 3 weeks on top of charging me $1550 in labor. I was wondering what other people who had their headers replaced were charged because honestly I don't see how I wasn't completely scammed, and I was wondering what sort of recourse I have.

Easiest header change Inhave done in 25 years. 3 hours with a rack, 4 hours on the ground. Wait no need for a rack, everything is done from the top unless you drop something on the ground. Do yourself a favor and pit header studs in ( lt4) studs work great.

Any automotive service centers should give you a report about works performed, and you can call a manager for explanations.
Of course better to discuss costs in advance.
