I need the drivers side (US) CV boot replaced on my 93 9000CSET. My regular
mechanic charges $90. but he's away. Other shops want $200+! Can someone
recommend a shop in NYC? Queens or Brooklyn would be most convenient. TNX

Wait till your guy comes back. $90 is a real bargain. A torn CV boot
won't get any worse in a week or two.

Thanks for the reply. Will a ton of electrical tape help in the meantime?

Depending on how bad it is. It may have spewed grease all over the
surrounding areas. In any case the tape will not stick but it is worth
a try.

Well, the only problem with that advice is if the OP is still driving
it. If the grease washes out and / or grit gets into the CV joint
you'll be spending even more money.

So modify that advice to: "Wait till your guy comes back if you don't
need to drive the car".
