When i replaced the Valve cover gasket on the Mazda i noticed alot of the rubber lines n Vaccum lines are stiff n Brittel, I was wondering if Shops do just them(replace all) And what kinda price im looking at? When i get back to work im gonna do this and other minor work to it.
Call me strange but i like this Lil Car

and feel its worth fixing up...Since i got it for Free

A shop would probably charge you straight time plus material to do the job.

Do it yourself and save money and learn about your vacuum lines and routing, if you replace one at a time then you should be fine. Basically you need to get the same size hose and a pair of good sharp pruning shears for good straight cuts...or get the ones specificall designed from Sears hardware tools but compare them with garden pruning shears and you might be surprised...that is what i would do....

Its easy, do it yourself, you can get ALL the vacuum lines for under 10 bucks, I do believe there are TWO sizes, 5/32 and 7/16th I believe, Id go check but there is about 2" of ice on my truck and I havnt warmed it up yet.
You can get the hose at autozone or advance auto. It also might be wise to change the plastic vacuum fittings on there too, like "T- fittings" and such.
