I get to wrench on my cars, in the cold. I miss the good economy days when I could afford a shop!

I feel for you, I have to do some work on my car this weekend. But, I figured out how to do a repair for a broken power window for $60 that my car guy charged $500 for.

I was quoted $700 for wifes car with disc brakes all the way around. I did it myself for $225. Now I have to do a set of valve covers on a Toyota that they want to charge $600 for. It's $35 in parts and 3 hour job. It's like paying myself $185 hr.

YouTube ain't my friend. He borrowed 20 dollars and said he'd never pay me back. Wait are you talking about the website or the name of the homeless guy under.the bridge?

 

[GBuck]

Did I kill it?

 

[GBuck]

OH, no... Thankfully, there is TWB to assure me I am not alone.

Did you replace rotors too or just use expensive pads because that seems awful steep.
