About a week ago, my mom began to complain about her car having trouble starting up. Also complaining of her oil gauge was fluctuating, drastically. So, when she got hom, i checked the oil, it was at a safe level. I noticed her coolant was very very low. So we ran down to the store a purchased some engine coolant(Prestone), I then filled the car to a safe level. The car ran great after this, but I really didnt know if that solved the problem. So, my mom comes home today and tells me it is doing it again...so I check it out....oil level, safe...coolant level, safe...I am out of answers, and seeing how I am not much of an engine expert, I need your help! BTW..it is a 97' Jeep Cherokee Laredo, thanx for any and all help guys!

 

Thanx mod, it ended up being the starter and the starter fuse....grand total...$500.06! Thanx again! Ahhhh...I can't stand domestics! !

 

$500 for a starter for a jeep!?! OUCH!! starter shouldn't have been more than $100, and $400 for labor??? OUCH... if i recall, its a simple install...

 

yeah that includes the KY Jelly....If they did not use the KY it would have been more like $300

 

$300? i double checked... starter is $60 w/ a lifetime warranty, and labor is .8 hours... so round it to an hour of EXPENSIVE labor and your at $150... That was some EXPENSIVE KY they used...

Reason i remembered is b/c my girl's dad did one a few days ago... sorry...

 

Your girl's dad did what, the starter, or the KY?
