Koni Shocks!
Does anyone know why it costs $119.00 to rebuild Koni shocks when you can buy new ones for $129.00?

Dan,
I suspect that, all things being equal, they prefer to sell new. Ed |
One possible answer is that they are set up to make new product on an assembly line . To rebuild a shock , it must first be taken completely taken down (labor here ) and all parts inspected and the ones that need it replaced , shock reassembled and tested . Again , time to do this vs an assembly line . They are also doing this on a much smaller scale than manufacturing .
One of my company`s Divisions made hydraulic cylinders ... to repair one cost almost as much as a new one for the above reasons . We also had to base our pricing on a worst case scenario . Don`t know for sure , but I suspect that may be why a repaired one approaches a new shock cost . |
AFAIK, the new ones are from overseas, not sure if they are still make in Holland. The repaired ones are done here in the USA by Koni USA.
