Dealerships are a rip off. They charge 100-125 an hour for labor and they charge retail prices for parts.

Talk to a shop about doing it. Even if they charge the same for the parts, you will save a hundred bucks or more in labor charges.

I work at Ayres in Burlington. If you don't mind the labor rate and the cost of the parts, we could handle it. If it can wait till next month sometime I could probably do it after work.

Yeah, why would you want him to do it the right way when he can hack the car up and make a soft spot in an already flexible unibody. Great plan.
