Well, my niece was told 750-1000 bucks to install a brake power booster on her 07 Ford Edge! Yikes!  I can do that without even looking under the hood! Intimidating? Yes!;) I honestly thought the price was rather high! But if I weren’t the mechanical genius that I am and just a regular woman, I’d […]
