[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 2134494, member: 1132"] If you have time and an internet connection, you can do the job. I tend to have basic maintenance done buy someone, just because by the time I prep for the job and remove the waste, it's more hassle than it's worth. When it's complex maintenance that shops like to charge a lot for, I DIY. For instance, quotes to to replace the struts on my WRX ran from $1200-1600. Ridiculous. I went on the NASIOC forum and got the scoop (and the pic) on DIY. It also gave me the pros and cons on the various strut brands. I ordered the struts from shockwarehouse.com and got better than OEM quality for less than OEM. Then I went down to Advance Auto Parts and checked out the specialty tools necessary to do the job. They will loan you the tools even if you don't get the parts from them. I took my time and did the fronts one day and the rears the next. Long story short, I did the job for about $550, knew it was done right and saved a lot of $$$ in the process. Another vote for DIY here. [/QUOTE]
