I think its a joke going on CL to find help for a valuable asset. Talk to friends and look up the local BBB. Seriously. I'm not calling some dude on CL. Some tranny would prob show up. Who the hell knows.

Ditto here--Much easier to have it done when getting oil change--thanks, i'll get mine done at the shop
Will do easy things that don't require a lot of tools or time.
Had this occur recently--wifes keyless remote quit working (not the battery). She took it to Nissan dealer--they wanted $187 to order and program.
I ordered remote myself and will program it--for about $50

The first step is to actually get the remotes. If you already have the remotes, proceed to step 2. If you do not, get on eBay and find the remotes for your year and model Nissan. You can usually get them for about $50 a pair, shipped. This is at least half of what the dealer will charge you.
<LI itxtvisited="1">Step 2
Open the drivers side door of the vehicle and get in the vehicle. Close the door. Press the lock button on the drivers side door to lock all the doors.
<LI itxtvisited="1">Step 3
Insert your key into the ignition and remove it at least 6 times. It may take up to 10 times. This needs to be done in a good pace, but not too fast. At least 6 times within 10 seconds is about right. If you have done it right, you will see the hazard lights flash twice.
<LI itxtvisited="1">Step 4
Once you see the hazard lights flash twice, the car is now in program mode. Insert the key back into the ignition and turn it to ACC. Push any button on your keyless entry FOB remote ONCE. This should be done within 5 seconds of turning the key to ACC. You should notice your hazards flash again. If you have another remote to program proceed to step 5, otherwise turn the key off and remove it. The remote should now be programmed. - Step 5
If you have another keyless entry remote to program unlock the door with the drivers side power lock and then lock them again. Press any button on the next remote. Turn the key back to the original position and remove the key. The remotes should now be programmed.
Hey, Sprint?
You banged Jon pretty good about calling shop guys crooks. Then, you turn around, and say the same shit about dealerships! Surely, that blanket statement can't apply anymore than his?
You're trying to come off as the working man's friend, but you're telling us that if you owned a dealership, you'd be a piece of shit? :shrug:

The guy drove to your house and provided a couple services and you think $45 is horrendous? Ridiculous.
$45 is nothing, would have cost me a whole lot more if I took it to the shop is what I was getting at. I called one shop that was having a "sale" that day and they wanted $130.

I have no problem with this thread as far as shopping around and getting somebody to do the work cheaper. . :shrug:
If you need your gutters cleaned out because they're clogged with leaves, do you call the roofer and gutter installer, or do you get somebody off the street/out of work/etc.??
The last time I needed brakes, I bought everything needed and paid a crackhead (no kidding, a real crackhead) 50 bucks to do the work. Saved $250 over what the shop wanted to charge me. :SIB If we're talking something easy like rotating tires, changing filters or doing brakes, what's the big deal?? :sadwave: As unhandy as I am, even I could do the above jobs, but being able to do it yourself isn't the issue either, is it? Hell, if one of you told me you went to the doctor to get your allergy shot, that's comical to me because it's so easy for me to do and you're actually paying for it.
Money is time, and me not having to do it is worth my money. I could be watching tv or on the computer instead. Why not shop around instead of just doing whatever the mechanic says and getting fisted in the process? kurby I'm not fortunate enough to know a mechanic I trust here in BG. That sure would be something nice to find. Too bad I don't live closer to Morris or PaSprint or any of the other guys on this board who do this for a living. I would go to them, but then, I know they wouldn't screw me over either.
I'm plenty willing to go to the mechanic's shop, but I'll limit it to hard diagnostic things that otherwise can't easily be done. After they tell me the problem, I call a friend who knows this stuff, and ask him if it sounds legit and how much it should be before I agree to any repairs.

me.
hmmm... me do it myself and struggle for over an hour probably, or pay somebody 20-30 bucks to do it? I'll pay to have it done.
nah, that's just for posting stupid, inane statuses about what you're doing ever 10 minutes.
car care tip # 348
car care tip # 348
Whenever a tire is removed from todays newer vehicles, when reinstalled, must be torqued to specs or brake rotor warp can accure. Cash it.

LOL lawtchan you must be driving a pretty high end sports car if it has different size tires from front to rear...and yes I'm sure the dealer got a nice laugh from that request.
Luvmy$$$ yes, my handle on here reflects central PA sprint car racing.
