Car Troubles

moving this out of the So.... thread.

Took my car in today for a second opinion. The shop is doing their standard check over ($149) which covers everything from under the hood to dings in the doors, the check list they showed me is a mile long.

Secondly they are inspecting for the oil leak and using a dye in the oil to determine (1) how bad the leak is and (2) to determine where it is leaking. I showed them the sheet I received from mechanic 1 and they told me, this is an awful lot to do, it could be one of these three things and not necessarily all of them. (valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket and intake manifold) but they would do the check to determine.

So, I'm comfortable with investing $250 to have them check the car over and find out what they feel needs to be done.

Fingers crossed the job needed is less than the 1180 I was quoted yesterday.
