So about that $800 dollar repair estimate


To go all Rick Moranis from Spaceballs "Fool You". So recently I was having a major engine coolant leak so I took it to the shop (shall be unnamed) and they came back with $800 bucks to replace the intake manifold gaskets. Well me and my pops we did it ourselves and guess what it ended up costing, $5. That's right $5 for the heat pipe that had gone bad and most of a Saturday spent taking things out of the engine and putting it back together. Needless to say I will not be going back to that shop anytime soon.
