I normally do all my own work, but I was feeling overwhelmed with a backlog of work I was late on so I had them do it... > radiator (very small leak) on lower area $378.00 This was quoted at over $500 within a couple of weeks after we'd just paid the above, at which point I decided it was a reminder of why I do my own work. New radiator and a gallon of Zerex G-05 at Carquest cost $150. > plugs & wires $142.00 > thermostat housing (cracked flange) 7 & stat $081.00 > all labor included in above pricing > Just got back from a round trip to mechanic about 30 miles, no signs > of leak, spotting, dripage or evidence of problems under car. > Mileage is about 110,000 > Car gets (HONESTLY) about 27 to 29 MPG > > Brakes seem to be good (were checked) but rears are noisy Noisy how? > Battery original but about $120.00 for replacement. > Car resides on the central coat of Oregon, about .25 miles from the > ocean and is garaged. |
