What about the timing belt refresh and "while in there" additional items?All cosmetic items (gaskets, trim, detail, wash, wax, etc.) I did myself on an afternoon.
I had the steering rack done at a shop (4 hours labor plus alignment) this fall. Had a different shop do the engine valve covers (5 hours labor, for rusted bolts) and rear brakes (2 hours) this spring.
Shop rates and job hours vary, but it was worth my time to outsource these jobs to professionals.
I ordered most of the parts when on sale over the last year, knowing the vehicle would need them.
