Got my car back from the Dealer!!!

[gstspyder1998]

Well I had to bring my car into the dealer to get the Timing belt (98500 miles on the car) fixed and all other accessory belts. My car was also running like ass so I was hoping they would find the problem. Well they found the problem, it was the oil seals leaking and the hydraulic tensioner was bad and needed to be replaced.

I will go ahead a list what was replaced on my car.

Parts Price

Belt A/C 25.02
Belt P/S 8.50

Total 401.15 plus labor 344.19 @ 73.00 an hour

All in all it cost $735.00 and I'm happy that I got it fixed. My car runs like it's brand new again... Woo hoo!!!!

All I can say is $73.00 an hour is expensive as shit.
Congrats on taking care of all of that, it's important.

that is around what a dealer would charge.
i give you a for doing maintence and maybe keeping this car from falling into the typical dsm stereotype of always breaking.

Yeah I know it was a lot of money to spend, but I look at it as being cheap compared to other damages that could've happen if I didn't get it replaced.

$73.00 an hour? Damn, I would have done it for you for $50 an hour, and everything would have been as good as new

Sure you would have. Believe me, it's a bi*** of a commute from there. Oh, and $50 an hour won't rent you an apartment in Sandy Eggo. It'll barely buy lunch. Welcome to California, Please Bend Over.

Good work, Spyd. Better than $1500 for a used JDM motor.
