I miss my old mechanic when I lived in Mass. Living in CT things are expensive in the auto problem world.

I went in for a transmission flush, I waited for 2 hours. When it was done the mechanic said he found the following problems...Some of which I already knew about. Here's the list. (2000 Camry CE 4 cyl. 120,500)

LF inner tie rod (worn and loose) $434.39

Rear sway bar bushings (worn and loose) $192.39

Power Sterring belt (cracked) $113.48 (had this replaced @80,000 miles, squeaks a little)

Exhaust leaking at the flex pipe (flex pipe needs to be cut out and replaced) $217.40

I called where I used to take my car in Mass. and asked them "how much would a new inner tie rod be?"

"$130.00 parts and labor, but you'll need an alignment after"

I know where I'm going...

 

Doesn't CT also have personal property tax on cars billed separately from the license tabs?

Click and Clack would state the CT shop was trying to make their boat payments.

 

yah, those are seem to be overprice it should be change.
