This is what the complete procedure should cost.. We charge 3,500 normally and 3,000 during our October and April IMSB Clinics.

We are seeing more and more shops compete for this business.. Its leading to the procedure being done too cheaply by the bottom feeder shops and then the corners get cut. We are having to deal with more and more mistakes being made during procedures because of this. Shops are not getting better at this procedurally, they are getting more and more complacent and too "comfortable" with the procedure, leading to mistakes.

When dealing with the lowest bidder you will get what you pay for.

Here is a good bit of detail about what the IMSBR process should include:
Intermediate Shaft Retro-fit Service
