But in all reality, screw it. I'll DIY and spend the money I saved on tools to DIY more things 
Having friends that are MB Techs and using some of the shop equipment is nice too 
I'll be testing my 300D injectors soon on the MBZ tester @ the local dealer. |
But if your car has other issues like stuck bolts, etc, etc, it might take them 5 hours to do it and they only get paid for 3. Works both ways tho.
Me, I can't see buying a tool to do a DIY if I don't have use for it. Why would I buy a spring compressor if I have only needed one 2 times in the last 10 years. Now, if it is a common tool that has many applications, sure, I'll get it. Once in a lifetime use, no. I'll need to build a shed to store all the unused tools.
Yes it is.
