Take your receipts and estimates to another garage or dealership and get a second option. Then you will know if they are scamming you or not.

I have no particular love for you either.

As I stated, I don't hate all mechanics, only ones that decide to jack the price up 10x, they should burn in hell. So I'll rephrase it in one fragment, I seriously am beggining to hate bull s*** mechanics.

Part of the reason you're getting raped is that you're going to the dealer.

There are some repairs that are better taken to the dealer. Other repairs, such as timing belts, can be done far cheaper at an independent garage.

I also question that the timing belt was diagnosed as the cause of a noise. That sounds fishy to me. A timing belt either is fine, or it is broken. (Although on many engines, the instant the belt breaks the engine self-destructs, so this is definitely a maintenance item if your engine is an "interference engine." If this engine is an interference engine and had high miles, replacing the timing belt was a good idea noise or no noise, but was overpriced and I still question how the noise was related to the timing belt.)

I think you should be raising hell with that dealer. They sold you this lemon? Start looking at the lemon laws and see what kind of recourse (if any) you have. Sounds like these twats sold you a POS so they could have you over a barrel for repairs.

It's a ton of BS that the guy I had check it, told me all that was wrong was the brakes. BTW the guy I had look at it didn't work for the company I bought it from, I guess I should've bribed him or something.
