I won't take either of my vehicles to the Stealership unless I absolutely, last resort, no other way have to. Do your own work, Dealers are such a rip-off.

I was a tech at Ford for almost 5yrs. Some of the prices are outrageous. The work gets done all the same, really good techs in there. Its just the cost of labor and parts now is just crazy. Dont hate the players hate the game brah

^ I agree there are good people working at the Dealers and I'm glad they have jobs, but they really have made it hard for the average person to get thier vehciles fixed there because of thier outrages prices. I do get genuine Ford parts when needed but not from the local dealer.

And I agree with you about dealerships. Unfortunately I worked for a Nissan dealership, but they have a little Ford cousin so I still get that playaz price.

Gears and pulleys? That's it? Man I need to get my car on a dyno. I'm guessing it's in the thereabouts of 290 wheel. There's a test and tune coming soon up at PIR. Also, highschool drags, but I don't know if I want to do any sort of competition. I've never been on track.
