Kansas City Autosport

Post by Ozark Lee »

I do 99.99% of my work myself but the last time I replaced the axles on the Platinum I realized that I do not have a 3/4" torque wrench nor do I have a 1/2" drive 34mm socket.

Kansas City Autosport torqued down my axle nuts for .5 hours worth of labor at $75.00 / hour. I thought it was quite fair. They seem to be an honest shop staffed with quality people.

It takes me 1/2 hour to jack the car up, set the jack stands, and get the wheels off.
