i took my car to a mechanic yesterday for a tune up, he said I needed a tranny flush, oil change, blinker fluid change, headlight adjustment, and differential fluid change, which I was fine with. All going to cost around $200. Though I started to get weary when he also said that my radiator is going to spring a leak and that it needs to be replaced asap, which is going to cost around $1000. Also he may have to change the head gasket which is also going to be lots of money as there is oil in the coolant? He mentioned something about os2 sensors? I dunno, but he said that they need to replaced since the car has 80,000 miles on it.

This is going to cost me around $1423 according to him, that is if he DOESN't change the head gasket which would be an additional $1500+, he says that next time I get an oil change, that I have to change the headgasket. Think I'm getting ripped off? Should I got to another mechanic? what kind of estimate should I expect?

Correction, I'm 7 years old and yes I'm old enought to have a car. I have at least 300 of them in the play room.
 
Hey guys & gals, remember, this is goku, the kid who knows everything and thinks adults have WAY too much control over minors...Personally, he has a very wise mechanic, who is only looking out for his best interests, and wants to keep Goku safe...

I talked to one of the guys at meineke and he said that I probably need to change out my flywheel belts as they're obviously worn. ugh Should I just junk this car? Seems like there is a lot of maintence needed for this thing.. Also the front headlights aren't working very well anymore, does blinker fluid work with this as well? Or do they have headlight fluid as well? Some one told me that I should pack the wheel bearings on my car. What do they mean?
