So my buddy wanted me to do some work on his Ford Ranger, including brakes and oil change. Then he wanted the interior cleaned on his truck. He tells me not to go overboard because he will just trash it again but to clean it up for the most part. Here is what I saw when he got it to me:



Taken with my cell....sorry:

And for fun his brakes:

What amazes me is that he has this pile of junk but he also has a 2008 4-Runner that gets washed every other day and is so clean on the inside you would think it just came off the showroom floor.



Anyway, I will try to get some finished pics tonight if I get a chance.

Well he is a good friend and he was in my wedding and built my stone mailbox so I don't want to go overboard with the price.
 
$100 is not fair regardless if he is a friend. If I was your friend, I would feel ashamed taking advantage of you for $100 to fix all that, thats NASTY!:down:down
 
If he's a good buddy 100 sounds fair if he is paying for the parts too, it is a regular cab ranger with plastic floor, that interior could be clean in a hour.
 
Call me crazy but $400 would be more in the ballpark. I guess it depends on how good of a "friend" he is. He could have at least thrown away all of the trach for you. :werd:
 
yeah def depends on how good of a friend he is and if he bought the parts. A brake job on my car will run me $900 at a good mechanic that I have known for years. Then again it is a bmw
 
100.00, even a crackhead looking for his next hit would charge more.



Brakes and oil change should be 175.00 if he's a friend.



That interior should be 100.00 at least, if he has any sort of hopes of it coming out more than decent I would go straight to 175.00. That car is gross and you'll be working on that interior forever to get it straight.
 
Well the flooring is plastic but the issue is that Ford flooring is VERY hard to clean because of the pit like texture to it. I scrubbed it with a brush and it took multiple goes so, in total wiht the oil change, brakes, and cleaning, it took me about 5hrs. He did supply the oil and brake parts.
 
I dont think I would have charged my friend more than $100 either. However, my friend would have been out there with me, doing half the work.

Yeah, he is a little to retarded to help with that. I watched him changed oil once....scarey site. That and he doesn't even know how to clean windows on a car I don't think.
 
hey, if i was married and had a house and all, and had one of my friends do all that stuff, id do it. off the top of my head i know at least 9 of my friends i would do that stuff for, for a hundred bux. their friendship is priceless and i know they would return the favor by doing something they were more skilled at or something, like building the stone mailbox. i say do it.:bigups
 
i figure 20 bucks for the oil change ... 40 bucks for the brakes .. the inerior i would do for free ... set it on fire and run =)



100 bucks sounds good for labor only .. also depends on how close of a buddy
