Diagnose problem, push buttin on the end of the stalk............$25.00
Fine for failure to .............................................$850.00

OMG!

Your cost of ownership must come in at thousands of dollars per mile when you consider depreciation.

Least expensive: $500 for installing steel brake lines and swapping out some hard brake lines as well.
They charge $150/h
