took my car in because it was running sluggish, poor gas mileage and the service and security lights were coming on. They did diagnostic and then did tune-up, brakes and a few other small repairs for 900. The lights still came on so I took it back. Now they are saying a cylinder head needs to be replaced at 2200! The blue book value is close to that. Had I known the total cost of repair to fix this would be 3100, I would not have invested 900 into it. I feel like I am being taken. They admitted the mechanic should have caught it with diagnostics. They have offered to apply cost of tune-up towards the cylinder head repair. Is this something that should have been caught? I need advice as to how to proceed. I have no intention of spending that on this car, and would not have done the other work had I known it would not have resolved the issue. They mis-diagnosed at my expense. Did they just do a "bait and switch" on me???
