New motor prices are provided to help you make "repair versus replace" decisions. We display a "list" price and an average "user" selling price. The list price is the industry-standard list price for NEMA motors used by many manufacturers over the years. The user price is the average price the shop would charge a customer for a new motor.

The new motor prices shown are averages and do not represent all manufacturers' prices, or metric motor prices. However, they should give reasonable estimating figures in most cases. Consult a manufacturer if you require a more accurate price.

Simply follow these steps:

1. From the drop down box, select the class of the motor you will be repairing.  Class is Vaughen’s way of classifying motors by basic descriptions.  After you have selected the class, click the Next Step button.
2. Select the HP, RPM, Motor Type, Price Type using the drop down boxes.  Click on the Next Step button.
3. The standard NEMA frame will automatically fill in.  If this frame is not correct select the frame of the motor you are repairing.  First check the Select Frame drop down box.  If the frame does not appear here, then enter the frame in the Enter Frame field.  Click the Next Step button.
4. Click on the select box in front of the workcodes you will be performing.  Click on the Next Step button.
5. On the pricing screen, review the Vaughen’s and Shop Price Lookup section.  Make any necessary changes to the workcode descriptions, quantities, or shop’s prices.  If you need to enter another workcode that is in Vaughen’s database, use the Add Additional Vaughen's Workcodes button.  If you would like to add a workcode that is not in Vaughen’s database, use the Add Your Own Workcode button.  Be sure to hit the Recalc button if you make any changes.  Note: Only fields in white can be changed.
6. On the pricing screen, review the Labor and Material Price Calculator section.  Make any necessary changes to the hours, or labor information.  Enter your material cost and material price.  Be sure to hit the Recalc button if you make any changes.  Note: Only fields in white can be changed.
7. On the pricing screen, review the New Motor Price Calculator section.
8. On the pricing screen, review the Final Selling Price section.  Click the Use Shop’s Price button or Use L&M Price button, depending on which price you wish to use.  Be sure to hit the Recalc button if you make any changes.
9. Select the Edit Customer Info button to enter information for your customer.  After you have entered all the necessary information, click on the Update Customer Info button.  Then Click on the Return to Quote button.  Note: Customer information is not saved.

The workcode that is titled "Recondition - NEMA frame motors" displays a national average price by frame that we survey for each year.  This price is the national average from the survey.  The workcode that is titled "Recondition" is based on 33% of the rewind price.
