    Got my Qoute from shop, they say its a domino effect of problems and want to change my water pump, thermostat and a flush. Total cost after tax is $757!! $245 for water pump which I dont think is the issue, $201 for the flush and $95 for thermostat change and the initial $85 to have tech take a look at it... price seems outragiously high to me. I have had zero issues with car since I bought it in 2006, should I give the go ahead to to the thermostat and flush and say leave water pump alone? knocks $250+tax off total.

    water pump cost 40 bucks, and 1 hr of your time tops. t stat 8 bucks, a gallon of coolant 15 ish.

    may i suggest you never let that shop work on your car, they are full blown thief's. and even 90 to look it over it to damn high.

    love this movie.
