Okay, so here is the lowdown:
Oil Pan - needs doing, that has a significant leak
So, they are keeping the car, calling enterprise for me to have a rental and my car will be done tomorrow.
they are also replacing the air filter and wiper blades
other items needed in time (in order of urgency)
2 tires in the front
front struts are soft
transmission fluid needs a flush out
radiator/heater hoses need checking
So, even with the $250 for the check and then including the oil pan and the wiper blades and air filter, I will be getting out of there for significantly less than $1180. So, that is a relief.
The other items, other than replacing the tires, are not too bad. Whew, I guess I now have a new mechanic.
