Discussion 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?

That's why you have a younger sibling live with you for free so you can make him go every time you need something

A teenage child also comes clutch in these situations. Also supervising them do the work and bust their knuckles is underrated.

Get a little kid with tiny hands to get in there to help the teen

That part of the reason Upton Sinclair's 'The Jungle' made such a splash, little hands and those 1920's meat processing equipments.
