[QUOTE="darb79, post: 76594, member: 1161"] It's hard to find a good honest mechanic. It would be worth taking it someplace else to have it looked at. Maybe the next one will be a keeper. I had taken in my 93 gmc pickup for a new oil pump. the next day my moter siezed up. The mechanic didnt correctly hook up the oil lines for the cooler. It was a big fight (they put solvent in the block to un-sieze the pistons then tried to pass it off as good because it would start), but I finally ended up with a new motor and a 1000 bucks in my wallet 2 months after. I probably could have got more if I got a lawyer. Also let the mechanic know how you feel about how they have handled the situation, and tell everyone in the area about the service (good if they take care of it, or bad if they dont). They may be quick to tuck their tail and make nice. [/QUOTE]
