Yikes! That's painful. Let me look into that. How much of that is the spark plugs? Honestly, you could probably do those yourself and save a bundle. It's been a while since I've done traditional spark plugs and wires, but you really only need a socket wrench & tool to gap the spark plugs.

Over the last 10 years (with a two year break while my husband went to grad.school), we paid off 257k in debt, built up an emergency fund with 6 months of expenses, saved up and paid for my Fiat, and saved enough to buy my husband a new truck. The only debt we have now is our house. I helped my co-worker do the same thing and he just paid off his last credit card and started his emergency fund. The first year was probably the hardest. We watched every penny, worked extra, sold stuff we didn't need, etc.

If you ever want any help, just let me know. A good friend of mine worked for Dave Ramsey until she decided to stay home with he babies. I've got lots of his books if you want them. 😊😊😊
