So far, so good, and I think I may continue to use them now that the 128 is out of warranty/maintenance. I know it's over an hour's drive to get to Wilmington from MB, but might be worth considering next time around.
now that i know its a relatively simple procedure, i will most likely just buy the bullet and purchase a good jack, stands, ramps and start doing this myself. my apt complex is pretty lenient as long as there is no mess; or major work like an engine overhaul!

the only thing i might have to take car to shop for is resetting computer, but there may be ways to do that myself... i have read online.

thanks.
