    Default help me not get ripped off


    i got a 07 saturn vue. it was the last year they used the honda engines. got a 100 thousand on it now and not one hick up of any kind. i took it to a local repair shop and inquired on a tune up since i have started to notice just a slight hesitation when leaving from a complete stop. he told me they would replace every belt, new plugs, clean injectors and service the tranny.. 1500 buckaroo's. little sticker shock but does that sound close to fair??? any suggestions on a reliable shop in the olive branch area i can check prices with???

    Basic tune up at a Ford dealer on an F-150 is around $600...depending on how many plugs they break, and they always break at least two. They charge an extra $100 for every plug "they" break.

    I think they have a policy that says they must break at least 2!

    I use Kar-Guard when I don't feel like I have the time or equipment to do the repair myself. They are located on Hwy. 51 just north of Rasco in Southaven. You might give them a call and see what they say. Kenny 662 342-0466. They do great work!
