...miles.....? its in the shop now getting the head gaskets replaced, the mechanic does all of this work only to tell me that it needs a new engine,wtf? my question to you all is, how long can i drive the car after the head gaskets job is done, before i absolutely have to get the engine fixed? forgive me for not wording it right, im really upset about being taken advantage of by this crooked mechanic....
i only had the car for 2wks, i bought it from some guy who claimed there were no problems with it, it had a weak start(starter) so i took it in, only to find out it supposedly needed all of this done, which i paid 600.00 for..oil and filter,air filter,4 spark plugs,4 front seal engine,thermostat and coolant,oil pan and gasket,clean throttle plate and p.c.v valve...when i got the car back, it was blowing out white smoke, which it didnt do before i took it to him, he didnt fix the starter which was the initial problem and he tells me after the fact that i need a new engine!!! now wouldnt it had made more since to have the engine done instead of going around it? he is crooked or what?
