You just have to "know" people to get a better rate than the general public. Being a jeeper "knowing" the right people is imperative.

being a jeeper   you should know how to change and fix anythign on your own jeep

why pay someone if you can do it your self

Sometimes its cheaper faster to pay someone else. I used to do all my own work. Now that I'm in fort mac working I pay people to do stuff I don't want to because my time at home is more valuable or because I want to minimise the downtime.

agreed. between work and two boys playing hockey, changing a clutch out in a parking lot, in November after work, is not high on my priority list of things to do. However the knowledge or general ability to do it yourself in an emergency situation is a necessity.

Being a mechanic myself I hate taking stuff in but atleast when I do I know when I'm getting screwed.

OP you get paid around $900 a day?, if so then do it at a shop if not then that day your going to take off wont cost ya $900 i just changed the clutch on my jeep cuz the pushbearing blew up and messed up my clutch. I replaced it with a cherokee clutch, my dad is a mechanic hes been doing it since he was 14, took us 7 hrs to get it replaced and every thing, with no lift just jacks and and tools.

If taking it to a shop and they quote 6 to 7 hrs or more then they are robbing you blind
