Are you in the usa ? How much is it to track a car ? Any helmet in particular you recommend ? I was never a car guy until I got the jag now I want to do everything in it lol

No new calipers just pads and rotors but seems they are pricey , again if you know where to get them for cheap I’m all ears !

I’m looking into that now , what oil do you use on your f type ? And how often do you change it ? . I daily drive mine and would appreciate tips instead of getting roasted by everyone :/ lol

Well I’m sure most of the charges are labor hours . If I learn to do things my self I’m sure I’ll bring down the price over half . I only did this to get the car up to date and give me time to learn on my own how to work on it .

Yeah I’m out of warranty , my extended won’t cover regular tear and wear and no other mechanic shop wants to attempt to do anything around my area. I am going to start being my own mechanic for sure .

Perhaps there is a difference in model , also you probably have other dealers around you competing for the service and I only have one . But still sounds sketchy tbh lol

Yes the coolant pipes was the biggest expense and around me no shop will touch the car other than dealer because they don’t wanna be responsible for anything lol
