kerry is right, and as far as the rest of it, any competent and honest shop can assess the condition of the engine accessories and other components at that time. If something is worn out thats one thing, but otherwise if it aint broke you cant fix it! I would never tell one of my customers an item on their car needed repair or replacement unless I could back that up and show them, I would hope that other shops would do the same. 3K is plenty, more than plenty in fact, to do this. I think I would be asking for a second opinion. Mikey 62 Crown Coupe
