Just realized my old truck's AC fix was a $20 part, not a $500 job.
The air in my truck stopped blowing cold last Tuesday. A shop near me quoted $500 for a new compressor. I looked online and found a video for my model. It showed a bad relay switch under the hood. Bought the part for $18 at the auto store. Swapped it in five minutes and the cold air came back. Anyone know other car fixes that are way cheaper than shops say?

Man, I used to just take the shop's word for it. But my old Civic had a power steering leak they wanted a grand to fix. Turns out it was just a cracked hose. A new hose was like thirty bucks and an hour of my time getting my hands dirty.

Sounds like I need to learn basic car repair.
