I thought they were charging a lot$1000but maybe its okay how much should it cost, or is that a just price I havent said anything to them because I dont know if they are charging too much or if thats what its worth or more

Expert Reply:

I can give you a list of parts below that will be needed to rewire a trailer which you can then use when combined with the labor rate of the shop to give you an estimate but it can be very hard to estimate the price of said job because the labor rates for shops can vary quite drastically. If you think one shop is charging too much, I would shop around and compare prices but I can't really give you a yes or no answer in regards to whether or not they are charging too much.
