Garage wanted $800 to replace the front struts on the Traverse. Yeah, I'll see you in Nopesville.
Struts on Amazon: $170
Broken socket wrench: meh
700 ft/lb air wrench & sockets: $125
3/4" socket breaker bar: $17
4' length of 3/4" steel pipe: $15
Time spent with my @sideseatdriver, and no blood shed (yet): priceless.
And, we're still $475 to the good of what we would have been charged.
One down, one to go. Lunch break over...
