Well, I know it's kinda pricy but I don't like seeing my car not in a good condition. plus this shop gives 3 years/36,000 miles warranty on their work.

I did. I brought to another shop and they charged $650 only for the valve cover gasket. Plus this shop is just right next to my apartment, so I don't have to go far away.

Well it might be but I have never worked with my engine. so I'm afraid if I will mess up something and will cost more. so i'd prefer just bring it to the shop.. unless someone willing to teach me?

Oh and stop powerbraking ... that's what pulling our mounts apart.
Really? at where? did they give warranty? mine comes with 3 years/36,000 miles warranty. dunno if it will be useful or not? But it succeeded to give me piece of mind.

Well, my oil change never be as low as $30. I always use Mobil 1 Full Synthetic oil and the shop usually charge me $80-$100. But I managed to buy the oil from Wallmart or Costco for alot cheaper. 5 quarts about $30..
