In 2007 an independent BMW shop in Bethesda quoted $100 more to replace both CV boots than the dealer in Suitland..... Decided to learn how to do them myself :-)

Recently asked them to press two tension strut bushings. 20 minute job, same shop quoted $200.....WTF is that all about? Needless to say, they're not getting my business.
