Stuck at the mall on sat. finishing up some x-mas shopping. Come to find out I get to my car, and what do you know. It won't start. I was pretty sure it was the starter because this has happened in my 94 sentra. Well all in all It was.

I know what you mean I did mine when I had my KA.Was easy just I went back and forth for a starter like 5 times finally they gave me the right one.The bolts were a pain to get to.And my clumsy ass when connecting everything back up almost got shocked to death forgot bout the battery thing lol.
jesus christ...i would of bought a metal rod from Sears, tapped the starter, drove home and bought a starter from autozone, find a place to change it for you at a decent price(or put it in yourself if you know what your doing), return the old starter to autozone and get my core charge back and save some money. I know that i make it sound 10 times easier than it is, but what you paid was just overwhelming.
Oh my best guess is that the misc. charges are for the grubby fucker mechanic's lunch money
Our starter in our '92 Dodge Spirit seems to die every 2 years. It has never cost us more then $60 to fix it. And that's about $35 of your American dollars.
Mind you, my dad does all our minor mechanical suff to our cars. No labour charges in that!
I remember a while ago someone up here did a report. They unplugged a hose on their car and took it to about 50 garages. Only ONE of them plugged the hose back in no charge. The rest "estimated" between $50 to $2400 dollars. They prey off the ignorant I's tells ya!
well it had 32000 on it when i bought it. And that was almost 2 years ago. I'm not to worried about it. Its a good engine. I'm going to be doing a tune up on her soon tho. But man she still pulls like she was born yesterday!
