I wouldnt say they are easy, maybe you found a magic short cut, book time through chiltons and all data is 1.9hrs for the fronts and 3.2 for the rears, the rears can be a little bit difficult your first time. Hondas/acuras are much easier. And my shop along with S&R, and AP all follow the correct procedure and my price includes alignment, which is a must. so like i said earlier you get what you pay for. There is a reason for the price, its not high its average. But i wish you good luck in your coupon hunting.
