Supercharger Dealer Install Times/Costs

I am close to that deal, before tax... $4350 including the TRD exhaust. The SD thinks he can work the whole deal together and make it worth my while, we'll see!
On another note, I am a bit worried about the TRD exhaust, I tried a Borla Pro XS and after a few months I just thought it was noisy, especially when I was accelerating. What do you think of the TRD exhaust?

 

The tech who installed the SC on my Taco said NOT to get the TRD exhaust. He's says the magnaflow is the way to go.

After a WHOLE lot of hassles with the local dealer, I finally got them to match the install price from a dealer about 50 miles away. They are charging me $950 for the install which is the best I can hope for in this area (everything is overpriced here). After my experience, my only advice is:
Make sure to purchase from a Toyota Parts dealer (no gray market crap) and get a receipt or invoice with their letterhead to bring with you.
Print out a copy of THIS warranty posted BY TRD and bring it with you.
Shop around to all local dealerships to get the best install price.
After all of the crap I have been through and miss-information I was given, learn from my lessons and I am sure you will have the upper hand.
Good luck.

Well, I just finished working with my dealer. I am getting the supercharger and the install for $4600 + Tax. Not too bad. They are ordering it today!

 

That is a great deal! Mine ran me about $5200, but that included the TRD exhaust. You still got a better deal than me! Good job you deserve it, thanks for your service!

I am close to buying a new tacoma and am getting the supercharger. I original called my local dealer to see how much they charged for the supercharger and install. Quoted me $4,7000 + $850 for install plus tax. I was happy with the install price but not the price of the supercharger. So I started doing some more research and found it at trdparts4u for $4300 no tax and shipping. I called the dealership back and told them I was going to order it from that website and have them do the install. They tried to tell me I wouldn't have my warranty if I'd didn't order from them but they would match their price but + tax. I let him know he was wrong about the warranty and they are a dealership in Dallas. He was pretty admit about not having a warranty so I was ready to cut my losses and move on to another dealership. Then the sales manager called me to ask how the sales guy was doing trying to find me the vehicle I wanted. I told him about the supercharger ordeal and that I was probably going elsewhere. He said let me see what I can do and came back and said he can finance it into your deal for $5,020 installed. Which is about $300 less than if I bought it separate and had the dealer install. I thought it was a pretty good deal but seeing you guys are paying $4,500 or less makes me think I can do better

 

Double Dee, use the "Contact Seller" in eBay to get ahold of lexusofnorthMiami. I got the SC, fit kit AND TRD exhaust for $4325 shipped, no tax. That was the best deal I could find and I looked for a LONG time. Oh, and Lisa (their Customer Service person) is awesome. She usually got back to me within an hour of my contacting her (even after hours and even on Easter Sunday!). Give them a try.

I think $5020 INSTALLED is a decent price. They are not 'allowed' to finance the SC into the sale according to the TRD website. I wouldn't worry about it if they are going to do it anyway.

Been working with two dealerships now and having them compete. One called last night and said they have the truck I want. Msrp is $34,418 and they will sell it for $33,248 and installed the supercharger for $4,950. I'm thinking that's a pretty good deal but going to see if the other dealership can beat it. My plan is to go back in forth until they wont go any lower and one has a better deal than the other. Maybe they won't finance it into the deal if you go through Toyota financial but I have enough to put down to pay for it if it came to that

 

I'd look to get another $1,000 knocked off the selling price. The SC and install looks pretty solid though.

 

I'll have another $500 knocked off too for a military rebate but i dont plan on saying anything about that until the last minute

 

Finally got the supercharger and the fit kit in today. I drop off the Taco tomorrow evening for a Friday pick up. They are estimating 6 - 8 hrs for the install. I'm locked in at $4600 either way. I'm looking forward to the weekend!

 

About to have one installed on my new 2015, is there anywhere published by toyota on instalation time as i am getting different quotes from diferent dealers. None of them have parts available so i am ordering the SC and fit kit from e-bay.

 

Trdparts4u is also where I purchased mine. As for install times and quotes you can see it was all over the place for me. My suggestion is to get a dealer who has done a few and ensure you get the same tech to install yours.

 

I was told 10 hours with the dealership I decided to use. Depends on the dealer. I read here some dealership quoted 6 hours then once they started they bumped it to 10 hours.

Please pick a dealership that has techs that have done the install. Talk to the tech if possible.
