Ok we have had leaks on our car for a while but now we got it checked out at a couple of places and the one place said we got to change like a bunch of stuff and the total cost was like $1200. Also the guy never lifted our car to even check, So ya we said F U and went to firestone and had it checked out better for like 20$. They say we have a bad water pump, and need a new Rack and Pinion which is worth A LOT. Also to change the thermostat which is expensive and i think we can change it our selfs, is it easy to change the Tstat? So ya and the first guy said they had to do like a lot more things than what i just said and the guy never lifted our car to check it right. The firestone said we dont. So new water pump, T-Stat, Alignment (which we are not that worried about to get yet), coolant flush, and new rack and Pinion which is the most expensive. It was for all that like $1100 at firestone, Then at Good year to do everything besides Tstat which i think we can change W/Gasket, It was like $1050. So we went to this private Jap place which i think they know what they are doing and said to change the Rack and Pinion and water pump and i think not sure but one more thing too for only $640. So ya is that worth it and are those things bad and also i think it is worth it cause they will need the car like all day to work on it cause the Rack and Pinion is like the longest thing to do. So i think its worth it getting it done at that place its called Usa Auto repair. So is that worth it and can you guys agree that is whats bad on our car? 07 Gp base and has 123k miles and we know that the power steering is leaking and some other stuff now too. thanks guys in advance and sorry for the long ass question but we just want to make sure before paying cause thats a lot of money.
