re: #137 chadu
FYI, your engine replacement costs the same as what that abovementioned estimate from my helpful friend for bodywork on my 10 year old Toyota Matrix.
Things that make you go hmmm.
Missed your post (want to give me its number?). But the work was done at a local Honda dealership (Middlekauff Honda). $1144.00 of what we paid was for labor.
If the engine conks out I can honestly say it (at this point) that I will not be pointing a finger at them as I did buy it used from a salvage yard in Utah.
