I was just looking at the ROs on a car I am close to buying and am amazed at what dealers, and even some indies, charge for routine stuff.
$600 for a DI and plugs
$675 for a fuel pump
$525 for oil change and a center muffler
and an estimate of $485 for rear brake calipers (that it turns out are not needed!).
It's amazing how much you can save with some sweat equity. I don't do everything myself, but I save enough so I never feel bad when I have to pay my indy to do a job. Plus it's a lot harder for someone to BS you if you know what it takes to do something.
