Good morning,
So I am not the most mechanically inclined person when it comes to fixing cars, however I am learning. I took my truck into Carr Chevy in Beaverton, Oregon to have it looked at because I noticed some oil leaking from my tranny pan. Turns out it is a gasket, and they said they would replace the gasket, filter, and fluid for $199.95. Also they said that I needed to replace my left/right hubs, for $579 each. Also they said they needed to replace my suspension upper control arms, and lower ball joints pack for $1153.00. Last but not least, they said I needed to replace my power steering bushings pack for $140.00.
I have never performed this work before. How hard is it to do in my garage? Or is this something I should find a buddy to do at a cheaper rate?
I am pretty disappointed to get this news before the Hummer meet in Washington this weekend. If I don't rip it too hard up there this weekend, do you think I will be okay? Or should I spend Friday getting what I can done?
