I am a woman who bought a haynes manual %26amp; over the last 3 weeks did all these things myself %26amp; wondered how much i saved by doing so......(and truck runs great now!)Repair costs?
you saved alot. especially when you figure in that mechanics charge anywhere from 50-100 dollars an hour
easily saved a grand maybe 2Repair costs?
Add 10% to the cost of the parts and add $50. for each hour you worked on it and that will give you a ball park figure.Repair costs?
Seeing as how you are a woman you probably saved yourself double that cost.Repair costs?
You saved a lot of money.
the timing belt job alone would've been $500 for labor, possibly more.
labor for radiator R%26amp;R, probably 1.5 hours, $120
belt replacement $75
alternator replacement 1 hour
coil pack, an hour.
You did good.. keep it up!Repair costs?
If you did all that work yourself. I'm impressed. And not because you are a woman, but because you were able to complete all of these repairs just from reading the book.
Most repair jobs come out to about double what the parts cost so take your total receipts and double that. That should tell you how much labor costs you saved.
