[QUOTE="617_Racing, post: 604671, member: 11103"] Well, this would be a prime example of why I don't like to take my junk to a shop. At first he was all, oh sounds like a simple fix and will cost a couple grand. Once they pull the transmission out he calls and proceeds to tell me that it's going to cost $4,000-$4,500 to fix. At this point I'm pissed, but he explains it all and basically I'm the fool who didn't take care of it. Oh well I'll be pissed but I'll eat it. Then today he calls, starts off saying while the transmission is out blah blah blah. Basically went peeking around to see what else they could do and try to charge me for. He explains the up pipes no longer have bolts in them and that it is causing a huge massive exhaust leak. Which is killing my power and fuel mileage, so he says. He tells me the cost to fix that issue, another $700... And adds on that the turbo may be damaged but he will have to pull it off to tell. At this point I stopped him and told him no matter what condition the turbo is in he will not replace it again ( he replaced it 7 years ago). 3 hours or so later he calls, "hey man your turbo is bad, I know you want to make power so want to throw an aftermarket turbo on there?". I all but lost it at this point. I kept my cool and told him now since he is charging so much for the trans to get fixed I can afford to pay for anything else. Then he asks what I did to my down pipe. I told him not sure what he meant since his shop was the last hands on it. He said it was cracked and he wanted to weld it up. This is when I think I snapped a little and got rude. I told him no, to put it back on and I will weld it myself. He basically said ok and that was the end of the phone call. Feel bad for being a jerk, but damn I took it in for the trans. [/QUOTE]
