Alright man...good luck with Duddie! Why bother checking around if your not willing to drive an hour to get the work done for probably nothing. You have to get them done in order to pass inspection in the state so go ahead and spend the $750 at Duddie.
The last time I went to Duddie looking at cars for my fiance, the two outside sales reps were sitting in a brand new Lightning with the engine idling and the A/C cranked. When they approached us, they left the truck idling in the lot....Wouldn't want to be the guy who buys that truck!
Make sure you photograph your car before it goes in...
