Took my civic in for a state inspection this morning and it failed due to leaking struts. They (Pep Boys) wanted $950 to fix them. Went on Rock Auto and I can get 4 new assembled struts for $425 minus a $120 mail in rebate.
My only concern is getting under the car. I watched a video where the removal and reinstall looked to be pretty straight forward, however they had the car on a stand and were able to get underneath it. I will not be so fortunate.
This brings the total cost of repairing this car up to about $600. Should I be afraid that this is the beginning of the end and I should trade it in while I can?
