Hail BrickBoard!!!!! 200

Thank you, thank you to all the Brick lovers who assisted me. In case you missed it here's the scoop!

I was told I had a "blown head gasket" and repairs would be between $2,000 and $3,000. Gues what? After reading your replies I was able to talk with 'a little' sense and walked away with a bill for $147.00. All I needed was a thermostat and flush...NO BLOWN HEAD GASKET!!! They tried to rip me off, but they didn't know I had BrickBoard in my pocket. Best of all...my Baby is running great!!

Thanks again...your responses made the difference!

    Having saved a pile of dough you might consider making a small donation to the board to help keep it running.
    Which reminds me...I should make another donation myself.

    Nice to hear that you dodged the bullet on the rip-off attempt. I would say the thing to do now is to tell people in your area about the deal-kinda like feedback on ebay. If the repair facility really tried to screw you-you are not the first or the last customer they will to get over on. Their reputation deserves to take a hit for this.

    You were still overcharged my friend.

    But $150 is better then $1000 for sure.

    Changing the thermostat is a very easy thing to do. Maybe next time, with the aid of the all mighty brickboard, you can tackle it your self.

    Glad to hear it wasn't the head gasket!
