Reply #18 - Oct 5^th, 2006 at 11:37am I've always wondered why small things like that were so expensive. Do they have to replace each part? Is it hard to use a suction cup on it? I always assumed that car repair was under the same flag as oil companies, they could just charge whatever they wanted to. X

Stick, the current retail value of my Jeep is ~$6,500. It's worth more to me since I've spent about $2,500 on it over the past two years for new tires, sound system, and extensive preventative maintenance. Besides, I really, really like my Jeep!

X, if the metal is only dented but no "crease" has been made, it can be repaired. However, if the metal has been pushed in far enough to crease, the part has to be replaced. In this situation, two very expensive pieces of metal were creased, and therefore must be replaced.

Reply #21 - Oct 11^th, 2006 at 8:21am I'm guessing it's a discontinued item, which puts the OEM price through the freakin' roof. I was thinking about having them order a "Fuel Efficient" hybrid sticker to place on the back right under the V8 logo... -b0b (...or maybe "Police Interceptor"?)

Reply #25 - Oct 11^th, 2006 at 9:21pm I really want to go to K&D since they've done such great work in the past. I'm thinking about Wheat for my other estimate, since they tend to be a bit pricey. Does Gearhart's do good work? -b0b (...shoo-wop.)

Yea, they're pretty good. I actually go to school with the owners son. He does a lot of custom work and such as well. You ever see the monster truck that used to roll around town? Its his. Right now its being rebuilt after he flipped it end over end over end over end over end over end over end over end at Silver Lake I think it was. In the sand dunes. I dunno how their pricing runs though.

hahaha. They have a 1inch drive impact socket...its attached to the ceiling because its to heavy to be able to carry around the shop.....
