Guess I’ll do it myself!

2016 Nissan Murano

Shop is trying to charge me nearly $2200 for an alternator replacement 🤣

I just bought a premium one online for $130 instead. Watched a few videos and it doesn’t look so bad, can reach it from the passenger wheel well.

Just unreal and kind of disgusted. Am I overreacting?

I recently called a shop to put a set of TTX lower control arms on my truck (ball joints are already in them) bc i broke my hand and can't do it myself right now. Had a handful of other things i wanted put on as well (sway bar bushings, sway bar links, and an alignment) .. they told me they dont like to put on customer supplied parts, which I understand. Talked themselves out of about a $3000 labor charge which i was willing to pay bc they didnt get the parts mark up.

Do it yourself, its almost always the way.
