over $1000 car repairs[views:2846][posts:19]______________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 9:24am - the_reverend ""] do not want. 2 compliance bushings = $550 front right wheel baring = $470 plus some other things. lame. |
| ___________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 9:25am - Slag NLI ""] What kind of car? |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 9:26am - largefreakatzero ""] It runs on batteries. |
| _________________________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 9:26am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] It's a PENIS...I mean PRIUS. Have Alex do it for you when he gets back from tour. He doesn't invent charges like some mechanics. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 9:32am - arilliusbm ""] Fixing the front end and/or bearings sucks. It's pricey because of the labor involved |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 10:21am - the_reverend ""] I already am having these done. I have a honda. I'm going to ask alex if he could replace all my pads and rotors. |

Who needs to go to college and train to be a lawyer or a doctor - just be a mechanic and earn more than Bernie Madeof |
| ________________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 11:51am - blackout nli ""] Should NOT be that much for the bearings. |
| _______________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 11:53am - the_reverend ""] it's a single tire. |
| __________________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 12:20pm - metal_church101 ""] Right. Bearings are all labor involved. Sucks when you can't do that shit yourself. |

| __________________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 12:29pm - bobnomaamrooney ""] You probably could have DIYed it with a repair manual and jack stands. You'll only pay for parts but it will take at least 9000 hours longer than taking the car to a mechanic. |

| _________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 12:56pm - mutis ""] Ugh. I just spent 1400 to get my new car fixed up. At least I got it for cheap at auction. |
| ____________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 5:52pm - immortal13 ""] Wheel bearings rarely go bad on a honda. Either you're getting fucked or you're just unlucky. Those bushings do always go bad though. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 15,2010 6:03pm - Samantha ""] I have a really awesome neighbor who is a mechanic and does repairs like this on the side to earn extra money. He doesn't charge much and does quality work. He fixed the bearings on a friend of mine's car not too long ago, and I don't think he charged more than $100. If you want to go the cheap route, I can give you his number. He is in Worcester, but it may be worth it if you want to save money. |
