Hey everyone - I have a couple of estimates from my local mechanic with a list of items he suggests needing repairs. Local guy by all accounts (my experience, reviews etc...) is honest and fair. We've been going to him for a couple years now after being gouged and cheated by my local Toyota dealership service department.
I was hoping someone who knows their stuff (not me) could look at the 2 PDF files I have that total about $7,200 in needed repairs and let me know what's ACTUALLY needed. I have not 1 mechanical bone in my body, so I'm clueless. My LX drives fine, starts every time.... never had a problem with it and still currently driving it. However, the latest estimates have me shopping for a newer LC/LX/GX and quite frankly, i'm not ready for a new car payment. I love my LX and would like to know how much money I really need to dump into it. Like what is a safety concern. I'm not concerned with comfort items (like the seat memory buttons etc...), I just need to know what items, if not fixed, would be unsafe for me and my family.
Any takers? I'll buy you a case of beer or something to make it worth the trouble. PM me and I'll email the documents ASAP.
Thanks!
