I know exactly how you feel. I reside in both camps. The one camp being those that use an indy for certain work. I had the indy do a bit of work when I brought the SDL from Florida up to New York. Spend about $700. on tie rods, alignment, rear axle fluid replace, motor mounts, injection timing check, road test and evaluate, balance all four tires, and front pads.

I definitely needed to do the tie rods, alignment, and balance of the tires.
The remaining items I could have deferred.

I get the same Shew wee feeling when I have to pay the bill for these services. So, now, I generally reside in the opposite camp. I do most everything else myself now that I have it home.

With the help of this forum, which is invaluable, you might consider the same. None of the aforementioned items seems out of typical capability. However, I have no knowledge of the specifics of the ABS. This might be the exception.

It sure beats that shew wee feeling, that is for sure.
