I've usually gone to Craigslist in the past and it's been hard to find somebody reliable since I moved here. The shop I've been going to has astronomical prices and I can't do it anymore. There's a fair amount of work that needs to be done on my 2006 Five Hundred SE.. doesn't need to be done all at once but it's a good car and I'd like to keep it rather then get a new/used car.

• 1. Motor mounts
• 2. Coolant leak into oil
• 3. Brakes/calipers
• 4. Spark plugs/valve cover gasket

Thanks in advance!

 

Something you might consider,

Item #2 should be considered first. If it is more than you want to invest, it doesn't make much sense having a good car with good brakes that can't be run.
Once the engine is opened up to correct the coolant in oil, the valve cover gasket will be part of that repair and plugs too.
If driven carefully, no jack rabbit starts, then brakes and motor mounts There is a little flexibility, but not that much.
What do you think?

 

You're absolutely right. Feel free to message me so we can set something up. Thanks!

 

I appreciate the opportunity, however, the scheduling and PAYING THE BILL are your privilege and I wouldn't think of attempting to interfere with that. lol

 

Interfering with what? I'm just wanting my car fixed man.
