    Mustang Repair Costs

    It was in The Woodlands. Apparently when doing now oil change in another place I found that neither engine air filter and fuel filter were changed at the service. Looking the receipt more accurately there indeed hasn't been charge for those filters neither but the BG fuel/air service at cost of...

    Mustang Repair Costs

    Thanks for your answers. I just wanted to know that I was not clearly ripped off. Sounds that labor in this case was reasonable and the questions were in parts prices. Eg. why intake manifold actuator was priced 25% over Ford Retail price and 3 times the internet price. Lesson learned for me...

    Mustang Repair Costs

    The content of work was pretty much what I requested and agreed as per recommendation of technician who seemed trustworthy. The hourly rate was 100-125$ per hour. In labor I wonder did all of those operations really need to be performed job by job and was there really no chance to do some...

    Preventive maintenance until moving to Europe

    Thanks all! Seems it is very easy to go also bit overboard :D I'll limit it so that I'll bring with the car stuff that probably needs to be ordered within 2-3 years anyway (15-30k miles) and obviously have car serviced until leaving. Then parts less likely needed I'll just pay the price later if...

    Preventive maintenance until moving to Europe

    Just bought my first Mustang GT - one with about 60k miles and from 2006 - excellent condition for the age and clear one-owner history! Completely stock and will stay so. The car is going to Finland for which it may be thinking later what bad it has done but we take good care of our cars despite...
