Is it just the guage or are they doing other work to your car, and around where I live most places are charging around 100 per hour in labor so it adds up quick, a easy way for you to save some money is to install it your self, there are tones of how to videos out there to help guide you as well

Is that gauge plus labor? Not bad, what kind of gauge?

I don't think that's a bad price if they do quality work.

It's a gauge why not install it yourself?

I've done some electrical work in The car but Id rather not do it again. Was a major PITA. After seeing all of the labor quotes from the shop for a few things Ive decided to shop around for the entire install.

Again, unless I've missed it. Does this price include the cost of the gauge? If so its a great deal. If not than that's about two hours labor. Depending on the type of gauge, which again unless I missed it, could still be a good deal. Point is we could use more information.
