I hope your mechanic gave you a better desciption of the issues other than stating its "busted". The markup on parts is a bit high.

When evaluating repair costs there is an important factor to consider and that is trust and quality of work. There is a local indy I use who I knows how much I care for my car and respects that fact. I am willing to pay him for his time to go the extra mile.
