If that guy did all that work and inspection on your car for $30 and he is not your blood brother, than he is crazy.
I do all my work because I like it and really need to spend that money in better places. I know the amount of work involved to do all that stuff and $100 would be a steal. As a service to someone I wouldn't do that for under $150.

So I found a guy who works for Acura who does side work. A friend of mine at the job refered me to him, it is feelHe went over the whole truck and told me excalty what I need. I went to him today and he did it for 30.00. I was so happy with his work I didn't have a ten in my wallet so I gave him 40.00. I also had some Toyota break fluid so he sucked out all the old fluid and added new fluid. I am so happy with the work.
Also, from my parts guy, I also bought all the belts, timing, water pump, thermostat, PVC valve, hoses, and wires at great prices so I'll have my guy do that too. I have 84,000+ miles so its time to do this stuff. I didn't need rear breaks (he pulled the cover) and I didn't need rotors. I do, however need wheel bearings because there was alittle play in the wheel when its on the lift and with the wheel off, there was alittle play in the rotor. Preventaive matainence. Overall, I'm happy.
