On 6/14/2011, We needed a rebuilt engine & I had priced some online, so when Julio called & told me it would be $1,200 plus about $1,000 in labor, I thought that was reasonable. Then 3 days later he said it would be $2,700 because of other things it needed to keep it cool, & hoses, & belts, but that there wasn't anything more we needed. I OK'ed that BUT I told him that we flat could NOT go over $3,000, that we really do live from paycheck to paycheck and that we had a second job in the summer that we were going to use to catch up on doctor bills and pay for the dentist.
