They service everything, relatively cheap, but relatively cheap is still expensive for me. Maybe I'll give Midas a call too. Here's the (probable) difference though, between your CRX and my 850: The catalytic converter. If you actually had everything replaced between the Exhaust Manifold and the Muffler for $50,  you don't have one. Such a thing tacks on at least another $100 in parts alone.

Stay away from Midas like the plague. My wife took her Mitsubishi in there for a brake job, car never drove the same after that...had a terrible shimy in the wheel....I ended up taking the calipers and pads off and replacing the whole kit and kaboodle myself after the completely thrashed the alignment and warped a set of front tires.

That is why I enjoy my 76 MG....no computers, no fuel injection, nothing....just simple old fashion car. Of course...being an English car, I have to replace the oil gaskets every 3 months....but hey! at least it is something I can do myself rather than taking it to "Jim's Oil Gaskets"

Sounds like they overtightened the lugs and warped the rotors on your wifes car.

Does your MG have the dual SU carbs? If you call that reliable, you're just lucky!  ;D

Oh, I don't think he mentioned the unmentionalbe word when discussing LBC's (little british cars) -> reliable.  That's not in the vernacular of an LBC owner.

"easy to work on", "simple minded", "why does this always break when its raining" all come to mind, but "reliable" sure doesn't
