Actually I'm paying them to fix the problem since I don't have the tools to make the cuts myself. It's also not exactly easy to reinstall the Kilby plates by yourself and without it up on a lift - when Tom and I installed them we had to take turns holding the plates while the other bolted them down because they were so heavy.

Oil changes, bulbs, general troubleshooting, no problem.
