Yeah what a ripp-off!

Recently made an interstate purchase of a 2003 Prado GXL and for QLD I was required to get a Safety Certificate (previously known as a Roadworthy Cert). The local K-Mart inspection faulted (as a inspection fail item I might add) that my bonnet struts weren't holding. They obtained a quote from Toyota... same thing $239 each!!!

Then I remembered about the Car Whizz guy that reconditions any gas-lifter / strut (automotive, household or otherwise). He's mobile, comes to where you are, and basically (provided the unit isn't physically damaged with a leak or something) will regas and replace some end bits, rings, seals (if needed). Charged me $85 each. Not cheap... but a lot less than OEM.
