It would be interesting to see an invoice from the shop in question, just to see what they have charged and how much.
You could post up one with all identifying information removed or fax/email one to say me..

Something good like a t-belt service or mileage service etc...

If you have a recent estimate that you would like a comparable estimate i would be glad to do that also, ie: like a timing belt service,
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

The shop guys on here have helped me immensely.  I do a lot of my own minor servicing but with their guidance I have an awesome shop that does all my complicated stuff.  Heck my shop sent me home with my money when I didnt need a brake job....of course he knows he is getting the job of replacing my hubs soon as I can cough up the cash... He doesnt try and sell me anything that I dont need and he does try to save me money like telling me to replace the shocks myself.  I would not have had to pay for my clutch to be fixed twice if I had this guy he woulda replaced all the components  :bash: live and learn.

and 85th and Aurora was my high school days hangout ..well actually a basement a couple blocks up 85th off Aurora.  Beer drinking, football watching, and fixing cars.... :)

It's such a double edge sword not selling or selling work . I try not to sell something when possible , then a guy will come in and say how come you didn't see my bad ujoint when I was in six months ago ? The issue I see with dealerships and chain stores is they have no room for wear on any parts , they are either good or bad period. If some one comes in with a truck that has 1500000 miles I'm trying to keep it safe and dependable , not make it a new truck .  btw Run I wondered why the neighbor has got better over the last few years ! :chuckle:

Oh I havent been there since 1987...left long ago....


I just wish I had been better informed on the inner workings of my clutch....my guy now would have said do master and slave and all the rest... he got to do cleanup on aisle 6 when about 6 months down the road the unreplaced slave went titsup :bash: :bash:
