When something is wrong with my car, I check the price of the part on Rock Auto, then watch a YouTube video to see if its something I can do. I used to have a Ford SUV, they quoted me almost $400.00 to replace the lift actuator, the part was 60.00 or so and I replaced it myself in minutes.

My smart key needed programming, Mercedes wanted to to drive over an hour each way, then spend $50.00 to program a key I had just spent over $300.00 for. YouTube to the rescue, it literally took about 8 seconds to program the key.
