My car has been liberated. It needed fuel injector replacement surgery. Who knew a car with only 44K on it would have that sort of failure?
In the process, it also got a new distributor cap, a new ignition coil, new spark plug wires, and a nice two-night vacation at the bottom of the hill.
Surgery ain’t cheap. All of that cost $600.
Jebus, Linky.
The new fuel injector was $220 all by itself, and I caught a break; they never called me before they installed it, which the manager agreed they should have done, so he knocked the labor off the bill for that part’s installation. Otherwise it would have been $175 higher.
Jeepers. Next time I need repairs I’m shipping the car to Hawaii. Mechanics here charge 300 bucks just for the stick the little oil change reminder on your windshield.
I just spent a like amount for a couple of sensors on my poor old 85 Nissan Sentra. I can buy a desktop computer cheaper than that and it does much more. (Sigh)
Lance, if that’s true, then it’s the only time I’ve ever heard of Hawai’i being less expensive than the Mainland.
Kevin, an ’85 Sentra? It’s got antique value! 😉
