gearheads...a little help pls?
Hero drives Acura 96 TL2.5, 138k miles.
Dealership alerts Hero to cracked distributor, quotes $800, as distributor is situated in unfavorable place in the car. Hero consults his regular mechanic who, over the phone, confirms dealer's approximate pricing for parts+labor. Hero gets estimate from Aamco who also says distiributor requires replacing, but quotes $560... Hero...? |

definitely go to the cheaper place. installing a distributor is not that hard and is not something that needs to be done by the dealer.

So... you're in the dealership with your distributor not attached to your car... I say suck it up and pay the $800.

Aamco is legit, I got my clutch replaced there. They always try to beat everyones price. You live in WA right? If so, did you take it to the one in Bellevue?
