There is only two places I trust. My shop owner friend's shop and in my driveway. The estimate from that other shop was close to $5k. Disgusting. I have thought about a tire dolly but there is very tight clearance on each side of vehicles. If you saw the legs of my canopy, you would understand. According to the VA doctor and the other guy at the other forum I talked to, after the surgery, I can go back to normal movements and lifting. Two things come in to play though. I do not need the surgery yet and may never need it if I take care with what I do. Also, at 72, I may want to slow down a bit anyway. I am going to see how it goes. Yes, I make some money in the driveway but I know for sure that most of it, 80%, is made under the hood and not on my back under the vehicle. Oil changes are easy for me and I am careful crawling under there on my soft mats my girl got for me. Working in the engine compartment is easier on me and doing fluid maintenances and oil changes are easy on me.</blockquote>
