Price Check on Fixing My Cutlass
Hello everyone,
I wrote a post a few months back about my troubled 1986 Cutlass Supreme. Well I've finally taken it to a shop and had them take a look and I'm expecting a quote estimate tomorrow. I was hoping someone with experience could tell me what range I should be paying so I don't get swindled. I took it in knowing the following was wrong: *Fan Belt needs replaced (shredded) *Exhaust leak *Overheating problems When I took it in the mechanic told me he sees a cracked tailpipe where it meets the exhaust, so I would definitely need some exhaust work done. I recently had my oil changed, radiator flushed and a new thermostat installed and the car was NOT overheating until around the time of the fan belt. Could that be the culprit of my overheating problem? (The oil/choke light is on and stays on when i fire up the car) So I've researched a couple sites with similar work done and I came up with the following: 50$ Parts and labor for Fan Belt 300-800$ for the exhaust repairs Does this sound correct or am I way off the spectrum? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm very strapped for cash. Thanks in advance! |

Re: Price Check on Fixing My Cutlass
Well, since the no reply I had to just go for it.
They said I need all my belts replaced- 180$ New muffler, tailpipe, catalytic converter- 360$ Making a grand total of 540$ Then they're going to run the car for a while and see if it still overheats. |
