Beforward doing some maintenance on an HA7 Acty for me before shipping out. Costs shared.
After looking for a bit, found an HA7 that worked for me. I like simple wrenching, but not big boy wrenching, so asked that some things be done by Beforward before shipping out. What I requested was:
Timing belt, water pump & front engine seals replacement
Battery replacement
A/C system check
Undercarriage rust-proofing
CV boots inspection/replacement
Took a few weeks to get things lined out, but they got back to me...
"Timing belt, water pump, drive belt, camshaft seal, crankshaft seal, and thermostat set:
Parts: USD 203
Labor: USD 590
Battery: USD 52
Battery replacement labor: USD 18
The drive shaft boots do not require replacement at this time.
The underbody has already been treated with a chassis black protective coating, so no additional rust-proofing is required.
There is no problem with the AC."
The CVs actually looked really clean, but I didn't want to pull an axle in the dirt and I was happy with the fresh coat of black.
So I paid $863 through Paypal. The labor is a bit high, but the parts are fair. I live on a remote island, so getting parts is a months type affair. Having this all done when the truck arrives, works for me.
Wanted to share as I had looked for some Beforward maintenance experiences prior, but did not find much. Hit me up with any questions.
