$100-$200 in labor to swap a steering wheel..?

Asked my dealer while getting a tire plugged how much it would be to swap my steering wheel for a new leather one I'm getting.

He said it can take 1 or 2 hours depending on how much trouble they have with it.. so $100-$200 ..


Little pricey ??

Ok, if they program the controls, I'd maybe pay 50-75. But to just swap it, I wouldn't pay anything. Just do it yourself. I can do it with my eyes closed now. It's a piece of cake

I was told 200 as well. Ive had my steering wheel for a couple months talking myself in to doing it on my own. If I did do it on my own, can I still get the buttons programmed? or do they do that while the wheel is off?

Did they program your buttons? If they did, you got a great price. That's more or less the same price I'd be expecting, not 100-200 dollars.

OP if you were closer to me, I'd tell you to bring it over and I'd have it done in ten minutes for you and then you only have to go get the buttons working

I wish :(

I'm going to call around other dealers on monday.. Not being able to give me a price is garbage... I'm not paying by the hour when I can't even see if they're working on my wheel. lol

Have any step by step instructions? And do they reset the bcm with the wheel on?
