Default Rip Off

I'm putting the Radiator hose on and spark plug wires myself, the body shop wanted 40 for the hose and 70 for the wires...

$70 to install friggin spark plug wires?!?!?! The $40 is even hard to swallow but most people don't know how to bleed air out of the coolant system so it is a good deal for MOST people.

But $70 for wires.... Well if you don't know how to roll the engine forward I guess....[&:]


Kudos to saving $110 because you are smarter than a 5th grader!!!!

Always a bonus when you can figure that out yourself.

Although getting the Spark Plug Wire Guides open to change the wires was one hell of a fight ... I actually had a good time swapping new wires on my Monte.
