OT--Has Labor And Parts Gone Up On Automobiles?

[mikemarrs]

i've had a chevy astro van for about three years now.this thing run like a dream the first two and a half years.then all of a sudden things are breaking down left and right.fuel pump goes out and distributor so thats four hundred dollars,then i had a sensor go out thats another couple hundred,idler arm plus brakes thats another three hundred or so.then the tires go bad so thats another couple hundred dollars and now i have a compressor and air issue so thats another eight hundred dollars.ahh so all that money i spent i planned on taking a family vacation but now our asses will be sitting at home watching the movie vacation instead of going on one

Sorry, those prices seem market
shouldn;t have all that go on a 2-3 yo car.

I bought a distributor cap & changed it myself
Can get it for $50 or so online.

AC is $
fuel pump I;d leave to the mech

Life's a bitch
even cars get old///

WOW....aren't you still under warrantee? Unless you have a HUGE amount of miles on your vehicle, it seems like GM should still be covering you (at least for the sensor), your vehicle is not that old!
