    Any DIY garages...

    in North OC still in business?

    I remember they used to be pretty popular.

    Need to install bumper cover/nose panel and rear discs/pads/shoes and valve cover gasket.

    I recently just found out about a DIY garage by John Wayne airport. It's a "monthly" cost though.

    I did an oil change, spark plug, suspension swap, and did some other work for about 160 bucks. I was by myself and ran into some issues ( my fault ) so even 160 is a bit much for it. Had I had a buddy or 2 there to help me and had I been a bit more prepared, it would have been LESS.

    Thanks guys for the info..
    Baldwin Pk is a bit out of range.

    CM OTOH is down the road, but I didn't get the sense they have a diy for auto repair and I really don't need a class on how to use tools to work on my car that I've owned for 16 yrs.
    Anywhere else in range?
