So I got a call back from the mechanic shop
Said I need a new radiator, some hoses and cabin filter. And told me it's $866
Then did an oil change without me knowing and added it on and said it's now $927 total
Told him don't touch anything, and I'm not doing the repairs, and I'm getting my car back
Isn't that like a alternator situation??I mean, it was what YOU think it is. He wpuld still have to diagnose it
Honestly… both of yall sounded like y’all didn’t know wtf yall talking about. Your entire car shuts down after you turn the A/C on and you think it’s a leak
I feel u breh..I brought my jeep to the dealership Thursday for a clicking sound in my engine. They tell me I need new lifters and a camshaft its gonna run me 1900 and it'll be fixed by the next day. I'm like good thing it's under warranty, dude face switched up. My car wont be ready til late next week,smh...

@UpAndComing
Take it to another shop I'll pay for the diag.
I wanna see how many explanations you gonna get in your area.
Record it on mic.
Nah it's $20 leak stop bottles until I get my Cadillac
BMW mechanic shops are the worst.
Let's keep it a buck. Most coli folk are not high value men.
WE buy used BMW.
I feel bad for all those fake bougie long Island mafia girls who listen to hip hop and look up to these femalw rappers.
These be frustrated because they can't cover the mortgage and car notes.
A 2005 civic when taken care of is one of the most reliable vehicles. If you mad now wait til you get your Cadillac 
you say coolant leak but that seems odd. Have you had to add any? Any leaks on the ground/on hoses? Checking the oil to make sure there’s no coolant in there? (That’s a major issue if so but likely not the case)
When the AC is turned on is it actually cold? Has refrigerant been checked/balanced? Are the radiator fans all moving like they should? Engine mounts aren’t cracked?
I’ve worked on several civics. Usually it’s the AC relay. Cheap fix if so…….maybe the compressor. Either way find a mechanic that ain’t on that bs. There’s plenty of honest mechanics out there. Stay away from franchise ones…….good mom n pop shop……

Imagine how Physicians feel
I have to mentally prepare myself for 2-3 days to go to the car shop or dealership for maintenance. I can count on one hand the number of times I went in for a simple oil change and wasn't told my brakes/tires were worn out, my battery was weak, a gasket was leaking, etc. Going in for a $60 job and being quoted $500-$1200 in work has given me PTSD. And this is my legit shop. Dude running it never lies to me; cars are just always breaking down somewhere or other. Today it's the radiator, in a year it's the alternator, in another year the power steering pump. I'm determined to get rich just to not have to deal with car issues ever again.

Tbh if you broke you’re better off leasing. Most people don’t know how to maintain a vehicle.
