Flat rate book?

Dealerships have notoriously high overheads. Fancy showrooms,shuttle services, highly skilled and highly paid technicians.

Believe it or not they make little profit from the sale of a new auto. Their profit centers therefore lie in the service department and used car sales.

I do my best to steer clear of the service department unless I am procuring a competively priced product.

Specialty shops usually are far more competive, but for a minor fix like a tail light replacement which is a no brainer, I would never let the dealership get their mittens on it.

I figure you got off cheap at $16 bucks.

In my mind dealerships are for warranty work only unless you have money to burn.

A garage or ... any repair facility has by definition "OVERHEAD" costs. But you want freebies. Do it yourself and pay yourself accordingly!

Any idea how to remove a burnt out rear side marker light on a '99 Camry XLE? I've removed the plastic cover inside the trunk, and I can see the side marker lamp housing, but there's virtually no room to do anything. Does it pull out, turn left, or right? Any/all help appreciated.

Thanks

Go to your local library and look through the repair books. That's how I figured out how to replace the front parking light.

Thanks, at least the price is right. *L*
