Glad I live in a border town

[mike rousseau]

So I went to get what I thought was a bad wheel bearing changed... Est $400-500...

 

I get a call... $3000 + worth of works needs to be done.... Lady said my "front end is falling off"... Whatever that means... Lol

 

Took it for a second opinion.... $1500 total work needed....

 

Call autozone in NY state.... $877 in Ontario for parts... $350 in NY state!!!!!!!

 

So I went from $3000+ at a "big name" garage to about $1000 at a small no name family owned garage that's been in town for 42 years...

 

I'm glad I got a second opinion... And glad NY state is a 5 minute drive...

 

Pays to shop around...

Good to hear you got it all worked out Mike, that's a huge savings.

I pick up car parts from the US pretty often. I have a 2004 subaru forester and do all my own work on it. In the past two months I've spent about 300 on parts and fluids that would have been quite a bit more if I'd purchased here.

Mobil 1 full synthetic is ridiculously more expensive here.
