How much money can you save by doing it yourself?
Im not gonna go into a long story, because I already have another thread for my coolant leak, but I called Ray Crow and got an estimate for everything I am replacing/fixing and the total amount is outrageaous. I spent a little under $700 for this entire job which is a little more then I wanted but it needed to be done. At Mazda I would have spent.... roughly $3,700, meaning I saved $3,000. Just thought i'd share this, as I found it quite interesting!
