I got a quote from CarToys for $375. My wife made me go around and get other estimates saying that was a bit high.

Next I tried Dealership, figuring they would be the most knowledgable and do the "best" job. They wanted $50 per hour, and said they "think" it would take them at least 1 hour per light.

Then I tried another alarm shop that quoted me $600. I asked him why he was so expensive, and he started talking about each light needing seperate wiring, relay's, etc, etc... And he kept tossing jargon at me.

So I asked him why he was so expensive compared to CarToys. He basically said CarToys must not know what they are doing, and that I should call the "Mike's Off-Road" and get a quote from an Off Road shop for comparision.

Mike's was the one that quoted me $100 per light install.

So although CarToys gave me a "resonable" quote. I'm scared to take it to them now based on everyone else's estimates. It just seems like maybe CarToy's doesn't know what they are doing.
