It’s almost time! Is300 + sa2015 approved helmet + badass racetrack = f*** yeah I’ve been waiting a long time for this

We have found a number of mechanics who are being honest with diagnosing problems, but are quoting higher than expected prices. According to Angies List replacing rear struts for a regular vehicle takes 2-3 hours. $100/hr is a fair estimated hourly rate so $300 at the high end for labor. 2 rear struts for the test vehicle will set you back $200, let’s say a mechanics mark up on parts is around 20-33%. So we’re looking at $266 for parts at the high end.... $566 total. The independent auto quote sights we looked at had the job quoted at almost double that amount! And the mechanics we saw quoted us above $900, $400 more than our calculations predict. These sites advertise for mechanics or have direct financial ties to mechanics, which in my opinion skews the estimates heavily in favor of the mechanic.
