If you've gone under the hood of a lot of late-model cars, you may have noticed something missing: the dipstick. Why do so many new cars lack them?

    About $300 is what the mechanics in the area usually charge. The dealership is more.

          Yeah, that’s pretty cheap. Is your $300 number for all 4? Because that’s more expensive than Discount Tire’s price…

      They are like 50 bucks for all 4 tires on ebay. Just get a wheel shop to install it.

      That’s complete robbery. Go to a tire shop.
