Car is in for the belt and pump today, technically at 50,200ish miles. My odometer reads 1000 miles lower due to a malfuction and replacement. Hopefully all goes well, then I will have it back and be a happy happy person. I have decided to not get the H&R's yet, maybe when it is warmer. I have a bud close by with everything I need to install them, and then it's just an alignment from there.

How much are they charging?

[daug1502]

estimated $335 for labor, I have the parts already. That's not a bad price, and I don't have the time to do it myself.

[thehunterooo]

That is not bad at all.

[daug1502]

I just hope everything goes well. If they **** up I am screwed for a vehicle. Oh well, if it happens, I will just have to make them supply a rental until they get it fixed.

[thehunterooo]

True enough, though if it is a good shop then I would not worry. That is why it is good to have it done, if something does goes wrong, you have someone else to blame ;p

Got my car back an hour before expected. They also caught that my serpintine belt was cracked and replaced it with no extra labor cost. 380 dollars later, my car is running great and everything went smoothly.

[thehunterooo]

Thats good, 380 for all of that is a really good deal with a "warrenty" included.

So car is still going good. Haven't done a whole lot too it lately, just haven't had the time. I did find something fun to put on it at a spencers gifts store the other day.



I figure it's the only way my car will ever truly have balls lol.

ok been a while. The car was castrated by a block of wood on the highway a month ago. I never bothered putting those back on. Then today, I got into a fender bender. Someone made a left turn into my front bumper. I will post pics later, at work right now. Just the bumper and the parking lamp were damaged. depending on how the insurance goes, I may be looking for a deal on a couple parts.
