It's 6pm and my mechanic Jack just rang me and the repairs are done and the cost is less than $500!!!!! There's still some issues to address but they aren't serious enough to keep the car off the road and me not earning any money. So I'll be picking the car up in the morning and should be back at work by 10am ( Read more... )

I have absolutely no idea!!!! If I hadn't been so stressed and upset at the initial diagnosis, I would have thought to ask for a copy of their report. I still might actually just to see what they really did in way of tests and stuff. I'll still stay a member of RAC for the roadside assistance benefits but will never let them do any sort of repairs except changing a flat tyre. Just don't trust them not to screw me over.

Am very tempted to visit them next time I'm in that suburb and tell them I got it fixed for less than $500 and see what their reaction/explanation is.

I don't know enough about cars and modern diagnostic & computerised procedures but I'm thinking they saw drained radiator/overheated engine automatically equals damaged cylinder head/gasket and really couldn't be bothered investigating further. Probably also thought I wouldn't get a 2nd opinion.
