opinions..... front end rebuild
Labor around here is a bargain if it'a 100 an hour or less.
Yes for the real garage.
The owner makes a living and so do the mechanics. The owner owns commercial r/e, a profitable business, pays property taxes all the other costs of having employees.
The neighbor mechanic replaced the front struts on our Toyota Tacoma a few months ago. He sometimes has a "helper" that maybe slightly challenged IQ wise, but anyway. A while later, wife kept hearing some kind of "rattle,noise" up front when we took off. I am bad deaf. Took it over to Josh and we all figured out "someone" did not tighten the front lug nuts! ha
I am no real mechanic but I even have never done that!
I admit front end on a Mopar pressing bushings and it all can be a chore, but this Ford wanna be, is NO chore especially with all new parts, LOADED upper and lower A arms. etc etc.
Actually Josh applied for job last week with the local REA. I don't
know anyone shade tree mechanic around here that can make $4000/week, $200,000/year.
