Car Repairs Galore!

Mon, 2006-10-02 16:00 — jrearick

So, I take my car in for it's 100,000 mile tune-up and find the following problems:

Stuff I Knew About
Front Breaks: $204
Belt and tensioner: $226
Coolant Flush: $155
Transmission Service: $155

Stuff I didn't know about, but explains a few things I've noticed
Broken Rear Spring: $440
Broken rear stabilizer end link: $316
Left axle seal leak: $175

Total to fix all: $1,671

I am letting them do the breaks, the belt and tensioner, coolant flush and transmission service for about $740. I may just look elsewhere for rear spring, rear stabilizer, and the left axle seal leak.

Thank God for student loans and a good student job.

Where did you take it? When

Where did you take it? When I had to do the timing belt on the Neon, we took it to Ron's Auto on Washington Ave... they were reasonably priced and did a great job, and even figured out what was wrong with my air conditioner and fixed it while they had the engine out.
