Sears sells basic mechanics tool sets starting around 100 bucks.

 

A note about Sears Craftsman tools: apply online for their Craftsman Club and get a card good for 10% off Craftsman brand tools in the store. They will also send coupons and a calendar with coupons.

I have plenty of tools and travel daily among West End, Southside and points inbetween if you need to borrow something. My youngest brother is lead mechanic at a Maryland dealership and has nearly six-figures invested in his tools (Snap-on rep buys tools *from* him to resell!).

 

I may be in town this weekend if you want to stop by and do it at my place.

 

ill do it, just gotta think about the drive...

 

see if u heurry up and get teh talon runnnign u can save on gas

 

it's not that hard.. if it was a 1G, i'd be able to do it... 2G i'm not 100% on yet though. especially if you want AC.. i never could get that AC pulley back on, had to get someone else with better coordination to do it. overall it's not that hard, just takes some confidence and carefulness. $700 is a rippoff... there are several mechanics around my way that i trust that can do it for under $400

 

I can do it for $400 and that will cover my travel cost and the job.... are you buying the partS?

 

Hey genius all of the reps do that for everyone. Many of them trade in their tools for newer items. Then the reps sell the tools. Thats how I got some of my stuff. Thats normal practice.
