newbie here with some concerns!

folks,

bought my first car and its a 1996 mitsubishi galant..the car looks great and runs great too....it has 105K on it...i noticed that it had a few recalls..and went to the dealer..the dealer fixed them free of cost and gave me a report sorta thing which said

air filter dirty,lube etc etc...engine mount broken and requires attention, belts worn out...drive belts worn out...timing belt might need to be changed..engine tuneup advised.

I am really clueless abt cars..learnt how to drive on the galant..i went to a nearby sears for a oil and filter change upon advice from a classmate..talked to the mechanic and had him inspect the belts and mount...he said they wud last a few thousand miles..and one of the engine mount is kinda broken..

the estimates for the belts(he said 3...dunno if timing is included) and the mount along with labor came upto 300 dollars..is it good enough?

i assume if one engine mount is crappy...that wud effect the others too...i am college student and i cant stand huge repairs.

any advice please!

3 belts? well if it doesnt include the timing belt ur getting ripped off big time check and c if they r going to cahnge the timeing belt to at the same time

that car has 3 regular belts and thats probably the ones hes talkin about not the timing belt included but how ever changing those 3 belts for 300 dollars is rediculus youll pay maby 20 bucks for all 3 of those belts and u can change them youself its really easy to do

Thnx for ur replies guys..i got the 3 belts replaced along with the engine mount..the timing belt was good..it cost me 40 dollars on labour from a mechanic working at home..the parts were abt 100 bucks

once again i appreaciate ur replies!
