Engine outs are $30k now?
So my mechanic quoted $30k for labor and parts for a full service. Im assuming this means all belts, fluids, etc. I’m in the Reno, NV area.
So your shop doesn't know what the noise is but he wants $30,000 for a major? Run away, run away. FAST!!!!
I have been shop foreman in some big Ferrari dealers. Rule one, always always diagnose sounds before taking a car apart. It is typically a very expensive mistake not to.
Your mechanic is a thief with a capital T. A thief and incompetent. Lets hear it for the daily double!!!!!!!!!!
