To make this short, I took my car into Firestone because my car was overheating.. So, they inspected my car and told me I need a new thermostat.. They also recommended that I get it flushed while I'm at it.. The estimated total at this point is $280. They told me to come back in 1 and a half hour. When I return, I was shocked when they told me that I need a new radiator because they found a crack.. and they recommended that I get new hose, also.. Ok, so I ask for a new estimate and the guy tells me $950 at first.. I'm like "what?!?!" how did it go up to $950?". The guy goes back on his computer and recalculates and told me that he miscalculated.. and the actual estimate should be around $700.. I still feel I am being overcharged! If anyone can help I would kindly appreciate it! I have also allowed for users to contact me through Y! Messenger just in case there are some very knwoledgable mechanic out there who is willing to help me. I beg you, please help me ASAP. Thanks!
