          Big perk of it is they have the tools there and some people that will help you if something is seized etc.

                  You can easily do control arms on jackstands

                        $145 per day is pretty cheap compared to $145 per hour lol

                        i used them last month for a tire swap. it's first come first served so get there early. i've spent a whole day there before doing my b6 clutch and some exhaust manifolds on my xterra. that sucked cause all the bolts broke and your'e on their time so my advise would be to not watch the clock.

                            oh nice! good to know. yea I'm planning on checking it out a few days prior. ive been reading up on a lot.of the work for a few days now and most looks pretty straight forward. but we ll see.

                            i just feel like if i do it at home with jackstands it will take much longer to do all the work and i use this car as a daily driver
