Help With Car to Tow

Go to another mechanic. No pressure? He messed up or is scamming you.

If you are ready for a new vehicle regardless, then enjoy the shopping.

I probably did not do a good job of fully communicating the problem and driving it to another mechanic would be quite the challenge as it almost stops running whenever you lift you foot off the gas pedal. I've been going to the same mechanic for over 5 years and he has been very reasonable and helpful. He has never tried to upsell me anything, which is the first thing I look for when I was looking for a mechanic. One time he even showed me a part under the hood and told me if I wanted to save a little money I could go buy the part myself and install it. And if I had any problems to bring it in and he would take care of it.

I still may opt to get it fixed, but I have a least a week before he can even get started on the tear down. So, I figured it can't hurt to look around a little. Thanks for the input.
