Well, in the last 4 months Envy has taken a grand of money. Just replaced the driver's side wheel bearing. You what the most rediculous thing about it is, parts were $80, labour $262, the kick to my balls PRICELESS.That feels better, ahhhhh!

Where did you have it done? Seems excessive for changing a front wheel bearing. That's like 4 hours labor they charged! I can't imagine it taking more than an hour to change the bearing.

yup cars are a money pit. You have to pay to keep it running. But it also helps if you can work on it yourself. I actually have to change a wheel bearing on my friends grandam...must go rent puller thing

yeah that's what I though Sublime, they are trying to screw me around. That's why I'm glad i found a mechanic of my own that I can trust and doesn't do it for the money but for the love.The dealership said they could work something out for me! Thanks for being so generous, I always figured "you break it, you fix it". that's how they treat us.Sorry got a little heated there! Thanks for the input Sublime.
