Return-Path: Received: from CMU-CS-SPICE.ARPA by CMU-CS-A.ARPA; 7 Dec 84 10:49:29 EST Date: Friday, 7 December 1984 10:09:45 EST From: Barbara.Zayas@cmu-cs-spice.arpa To: bovik@cmu-cs-a.arpa Subject: Muffler repair - recommendation Message-ID: <1984.12.7.15.4.58.Barbara.Zayas@cmu-cs-spice.arpa> If you need a muffler repaired, go to Meineke (this might be misspelled but it is pronounced MINE-A-KEY). Midas didn't carry parts for our 83 Datsun Sentra. The dealer was going to charge $50 for labor and $80 for the part (which apparently is one large unit). Meineke only charged $76.00 including all parts and labor. They replaced the entire unit with 3 major parts so that if the tailpipe breaks off again it will only cost $7.95+labor. Try them sometime. The truly amazing thing is that they were extremely courteous and thorough. They explained the procedure step-by-step and the muffler was installed in 20 minutes (!!). To anyone who has ever been to a Sears to have the car fixed, this is amazingly quick. They are in the book. B.
