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.

That's great, and now you have a list that you can take a bite out of over time, instead of all at once.
