So, I didn't want to jack with drilling out an exhaust manifold bolt that broke, so I took it to one of our local Saab specialists.
Lucky me. I picked up the car and it runs fine, so no broken piston or lifter concerns.
When I called the good doctor, he quoted me "about $200," when I told him I wanted all the exhaust studs replaced and the broken one drilled out.
He said he found 3 more that were broken and my exhaust manifold was cracked, so he replaced that with a good used part. He also threw on a new serpantine belt.
The bill was $550. When I balked at that and reminded him that I'd supplied the new bolts, exhaust gasket, and various turbo seals, he knocked off $50.
Sound fair? I mean, he did pull the head and take the turbo fully apart. But does $500 sound fair?
