Broke down in Beckley, WV

[Stanley Rockafella]

With all due respect, why would you put $3600 in work in to a car that's not even worth $2000?

who is this clown?

maybe you should take your holier than thou attitude and buy a Civic

well get the carcass back home and have torn down by a GOOD and REPUTABLE engine builder and have them back flush all the oil galleries and see what comes out. If that report returns with confirmation of contamination then you can likely go after the original shop for your costs associated with getting it fixed again and likely your rental car and hotel bills as well since you were a long ways from home.. That is assuming she took it to a proper shop and didnt have her neighbors brother do it on the side,
