That is a lot of money to spend on a '99 car. For those of us that have the space to work and the time, all of this stuff is good DIY work. Also, I encourage drivers, especially of older cars, to learn and practice such maintenance to save some bucks and become more knowledgable about your cars.

However, if DIY isn't your thing then I strongly advise finding a good aftermarket shop. But dealer pricing is outrageous. We can do better than that......keep in mind that they service cars worth between $60,000-$200,000. They don't even understand that the guy with the '99 might not be rich!
