> 75 bucks for welding up an exhaust is not outrageous. figure thats an hour labor. even if it takes 10 mins to drag shit out, 10 to weld, and 10 to put shit away, you also have to factor in the paperwork aspect of the shit.

> also, what type of car and what balljoint? and how did you test it? again, that does not seem outrageous to me for labor and cost of part to r&r a ball joint. how did you fix it? what was the cost of parts and how much time did it take you?

it is an impala, i didnt do anything with the balljoints, but i fixed it myself by putting new bushings in, total cost of parts was less than $45 which included 2 new bushings and 2 end links for the swaybar

it took me 5 hours in total, 4.5 hours for the driver side, and about 30 min for the passenger side

> If we fail you and you fix what was wrong we don’t charge you even for the sticker. I don’t know what the law says but we give you 30 days to repair it or pay us to or someone else. Just remember that if you piss off the inspection station THEY have the power to declare your vehicle unsafe for the road and can impound it if they really want to be dicks. Find yourself a mom and pop shop that you trust and eliminate the dealer you will be better off. There seems to be enough guys on this board with their our shops pick one. The local shop are always willing to take care of a loyal customer and the rates are better and you are a face not a piece of paper with a work order on it.

yeah, i understand… this isnt my car, it is my fathers car, i figured it would be easier to say my car than say his car every other sentence, he took it to that dealer because it is a mile away and convenient to get to
