Default Tune ups...

Damn, I'm getting my 97 civic hatchback in a half and hour and I'm paying 353.89 for a freaking tune up and an oil change and a new antenna... damn that's a lot of fawking money. Luckily I get paid next friday.

Don't you guys think that's a little high for a tune up and what usually consists of one?

Major tune up?

If so, plugs, valve adjustment, all fluilds, brakes, filters...I think that's about it. You can do most of it yourself.

Im in the wrong business. I'd of done all that for $200! It's only $50 dollars of parts, and with a lift/airtools 1.5 hours of labor.
