Find a place that is cheap and does the job right. I know Merchants will do it for 29+ tax. Jiffy lube is more expensive around 30 something. At work where I am it is 27.95. There are some coupons out there for 13.99, 16.99, etc.

Reading comprehension -- try it. Snap-on guy calling my brother for a tool because he doesn't have it and another mechanic is looking for one is very different than someone wanting to offload tools for cash. When you have more tools than the Snap-on and Mac reps *combined* chances are they will come looking for you and ask if you want to sell if they don't have the tool they need.
