simple:

you say $150 for parts
$120 labor standard one-hour pay
$8 tax
$7 misc charges (disposal mostly)
Who knows what the other $20 or so is for, Honda is always ready to screw you in some new and unexpected way... Thats why I like DIY. saves lots of $$ and pain. Except I rarely get the chance to do DIY

$120 hour???????????????????????????? What honda do you live by? Our ACURA dealership is like $60 an hour. Its more like $50 an hour, which turns that 120 more to 2 hours of work. My dad and I were actually talking about this earlier today, and he said that it atleast takes 2 hours.

I think you might want to open up your own shop if your honda dealer is asking $120 a hour.

Anyone have a list of tools that you would need other than the ones mentioned above? Also if its an older car should I use any bolt loosener? Would just wrench set do the rest or are there any "special" tools? Thanks a lot inadvance!
