My car has been liberated. It needed fuel injector replacement surgery. Who knew a car with only 44K on it would have that sort of failure?
In the process, it also got a new distributor cap, a new ignition coil, new spark plug wires, and a nice two-night vacation at the bottom of the hill.
Surgery ain't cheap. All of that cost $600.

Posted by: shelley at March 25, 2006 07:49 AMThe new fuel injector was $220 all by itself, and I caught a break; they never called me before they installed it, which the manager agreed they should have done, so he knocked the labor off the bill for that part's installation. Otherwise it would have been $175 higher.

Kevin, an '85 Sentra? It's got antique value! ;)
