    i doubt it, how much do they want? you have to consider the battery and brake actuator.

    of course, new and used cars are expensive, so you have to weigh the alternatives.

    From what I’ve read here they do rush jobs, cut corners, brake clips, lose stuff. One guy reported upon taking it all apart after their head gasket job, he found a washer missing on one of the head bolts.

    Owner of the business has a short fuse too; I’ll leave it at that.
