Well, I put $865.94 on my credit card for replacing my timing belt. I am supposed to receive $8.65 back.

That is gas for a week!

Oh, and kids, always look over work orders before approving. For some reason, when I told the guy on the phone (I call him "Salesman") that I wanted to come in in the morning and look at everything in writing, he pushed me to let them get started immediately.

I do not believe he mentioned they "needed" to flush my cooling system. He seemed to talk too much about some things while omitting others. Another mechanic said that you almost never need to flush the coolant system when you replace a timing belt, and they charged me a hundred and seventy dollars for it, which the mechanic said was definitely too much.
