I had all the recalls done on my car and it didnt take very long at all. The subframe bolts are super easy to take care of yourself though if they are just loose. 15mm socket and a ratchet. If you haven't had the recall done (i just dropped my subframe and the lower metal bracket looks new as well all around) then at least check your bolts for now.

 

Those bolts are about 10 bucks each I believe....
