My Jeep!

By replacing the shocks on my vehicle myself  i saved about $300 if not more. Seeing as how most places charge $100 per hour for labor and “it takes 4 hours”.
So by going to AutoZone, buying my own shocks for $100, and installing them myself (Very easy to do, AutoZone has DVDs for $5 that will teach anyone how to do it. even a granny)

I only spent $100, and  i will save $300 on the over all process.

UPDATE!

I completed the project today. It took me 3 hours total, with hand tools. So when Pro shops say it takes 4 hours for them with power tools, a garage lift and more than one person working, i say BS.

All in all here is what happened.

I bought 4 shocks, Total -$92 dollars
I bough 2 Jack stands- Total -$32
I got a rebate for the fourth shock- Minus 22 dollars

DIY Total= $102
Taking it to a shop= $400+

So i saved $298 over all, got a good work out (my bolts were very rusty) and i learned how to Do it myself. It was my first time, it will only get easier from here. Thanks for viewing.
