I have a 15 year rule.
After a car or truck gets 15 years old expect things to start falling apart.
Old Buick is 16. Boss said AC stopped working. I popped the hood and the Power steering pump is leaking. Oil all over the belt. Belt is original, 130k. AC is fine.
I'm too old to even think of replacing the pump. Going to take it to a country mechanic 2 miles south. He's done work for me in the past. Good guy. Years ago I took the Buick to him to have the plugs and plug wires replaced. He calls me and said I have good and bad news. Good news plugs are in. Bad news front wheel bearing is bad.
I told him to replace it. He says, don't you want to know what is going to cost?
No replace the wheel bearing, I'm heading to Florida soon. Are you sure you don't want to know what it's going to cost. Again, No, I'm going to Florida. Are you sure you don't want to know. No, If I feel you charged me too much, take a pic of me as I leave. You won't see me again.
So what would you think a fair price for removing motor mount to get to back spark plugs, plug wires, and a wheel bearing cost? Parts and labor? Buick Rendezvous
What do you think it will cost for a new power steering pump and belt?
