They sell jacks, & jackstands, aren't you confident enough to do it yourself..

That's ok, find another stealership to do your work..Pay your money & hope for the best..

Maybe it's better you don't learn to do simple stuff like this yourself.. You could get hurt or mess up your car..

PS: I ain't no midget...............

I wasn't saying midget, i was saying mass wise. I am not lanky. My point is, I have had vehicles come off jacks while I was under them and it scared the piss outta me, even with someone else there, I don't want to run the risk of getting crushed.

In my particular case, I could smell coolant, but no spots under car, reservoir empty, no fluid under the pressure cap. AH HA, the spark plug jackets were yellow, it was suggested that head gasket was the culprit. I got a bottle of "K&W Permanent Head Gasket & Block Repair" from CRC. So now no odor from coolant, but, I am loosing about an OZ. of coolant every 2000 miles somewhere, I have decided to declare that "normal" evaporation, since no puddles no odor no coolant in the oil. I now check the coolant level frequently, since I rotate my own tires about every 3 weeks (yeah 1K/week) I have added that to my routine checks.

Rhino Ramps are a good safe alternative fwiw.

DIY it's not much, there's a thread in the how to section I believe. Take a look at that and decide if you're up to it. Not sure what a shop would charge, a Dealer would tell you to bend over.
