What the heck is your hurry, as most here think of this as a hobby. Book rate is more a guideline for modern car warranty and general repair work. It's a good thing for keeping repair pricing inline, but usually involve's service tech's trained in certain area's, equipped with the proper tools. Older car's with lot's of rusted together part's really don't qualify, and best to take your time to avoid breaking other stuff.
