else these days). I just looked up what the same repairs cost me on another vehicle about 5 years ago. It was about $700 then. Today I just paid $1800.

AC Service with a leaking part replacement - $850 ($400 5 years ago)
Brakes - $550 ($286 5 years ago)
Oil change - $60 ($35)
Replace a broken lug nut stud (never had that before) - $300 - Take that out and it is still $1500 for similar repairs

And they still wanted to charge me $1500 more to replace the radiator and water pump which they say are leaking.
