and again I have nothing against mechanics, I know a couple of really nice ones that would bend over backward to make sure the job is done right. I've just seen the other side of that spectrum as well. I grew up on a Ford escort where I was changing the plugs and wires before I could drive it, and right now on my Jetta, it too is pretty simple with the right tool. When it came time for my tune up I was getting estimates of over $700 and all they were doing was changing the plugs and doing an oil change and then checking everything else. If any hoses or belts needed to be tightened or changed it would be in addition to that cost. I jsut don't understrand where the money goes!

I mean no offense to the mechanic here and again have nothing against the good ones, but a good manual and the right tool go a long way!
