Dealer or No Dealer

[Graphics Guy]

My Mazda needs sway bar bushings. I found Bell Tire will install them for about $81, the dealer wants $150. Is it better to have a dealer work on the vehicle? I'm not going to work on the car myself and it needs to be done. So what do you all think?

The Dealer can be overpriced even for simple installs and fixes...Plus even at the Dealer, mistakes and or shoddy workmanship can happen...If money is a major factor then go with a shop like Bell Tire as long as they are reputable, experienced and provide quality service.

Let us know what you end up doing and enjoy the forums...

well since it needs to be done then go with Bells if you trust their work.
