Default simple question..

i need alot of little things done to my car and i don't have the time and i really need them done before school starts in a week. My car was bought in NY, and i live in Virginia so could i take my car to the Ford Dealer and they can fix it?

Yes it might be a stupid question but i want to make sure.

ok just making sure, do they have good service? I have a job and i work every day almost and without a car i wouldnt be working, so do you think they could finish doing:

Intake Leak
Fixing whatever is wrong on my pulleys
Throwout Bearing

all in one day?

Yea its no longer under warranty so you'll just pay the hourly rate or $60/hr (avg) for a certified ford tech to do the work, what does your car need?

I dunno where you live at around here the dealerships charge anywhere from $85-$102 per labor hour. Youre better off taking it to a independent shop. Your best bet is to call around to get the best price.

I know its some **** i can do but i have no experience with **** and its to late to learn right now, i have to much going on with work and soon school so i just need to take it to a shop

Default RE: simple question..

if the throw-out bearing is bad, might as well swap the clutch, why pay labor twice? If there is an intake leak, swap the intake! as for the pulleys, it is most likly the tensioner
