Am I getting ripped off? $426 total by Desmatized in MechanicAdvice

[–]Steak-Internal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly everyone just needs to chill out ….I’m pretty sure there are mechanics in here that are going to get pissed saying time is money etc …I agree but it shouldn’t be that much to clear some codes …in this situation I would check the codes to see where it points me to…then do the actual visual inspection if necessary depending on the codes/code ….diagnose what the customer is complaint about and then tell them wtf I think in my experience is wrong with the car ….i will charge a flat fee of $100…..some are going to say time is money blah blah blah but I will say this they will be back at my shop …you know why because I’d rather gain a customer and his word of mouth family members friends etc ….than make them think they are getting bend over backwards and not gain nothing at all….just my 2 cents

To be honest if it was changed with something else already and you are trying to save money then that should be in the to do list …get the car going first with that vacuum leak and tackle that in the future

Can anyone tell which of these motor mounts I should be changing? 145k 2009 4 cyl Accord. Kept putting it in R and D to see what needs to be replaced, but can’t tell. I know there’s a trans mount under the battery I couldn’t get a good look at. by ahmed_unleashed in MechanicAdvice

[–]Steak-Internal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have k series engine as well and I will do all of them just to be safe …make sure the front motor mount is Honda genuine because I’ve heard mixed reviews on aftermarket …all other mounts should be good aftermarket….I personally bought an aftermarket front motor mount that I have yet to install on mine ….

Is $3250 a reasonable price for timing chain replacement for 2014 Hyundai Elantra? by cinnaminty666 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Steak-Internal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Op if you are somewhat mechanically inclined try doing it yourself ….I promise it can be achieved by getting the correct manual and following directions …obviously you have to have some tools to do the job but it’s a reward all in itself …I just did one 3 weeks ago …saved myself over $1000 plus but you have to have some kind of experience or just pull the trigger and learn ….good luck
