Anyone have a good recommendation for a independant shop to perform in the North Dallas/Plano area?
Check out Menu#19 on my page and DIY! It's not that hard and actually kind of a fun job. You needent replace all but it's probably the best thing to do, but if you just replace the 'bad' one, it's a quick job.

I'm sure the dealer will replace all oil tubes on both sides. Guessimate . . 4 hours plus 16 oil tubes plus chain guide plus valve cover gasket kit = $750???
