Honda Car Forum

car that he put it in my 1988 hoda accord at nocharge. Should I let him do this because now I have spend $789 total. All the people that I talk with say he should buy all the parts because when I tok the car to him the transmission was not busted.

is the transmission broken now, if not dont bother!

call the bbb (better buisness beureau) something like that, and have them query this shop to see if there are any open complaints against them.it sounds like he is scamming you-did you bring the car to him for a transmission check? go to another shop and ask them to check for you-dont tell them someone has said its busted.

Hey looks like the 19 year old car's transmission just failed Sounds like you had the timing belt changed and valve cover gasket and waterpump replaced. Then when the mechanic drove your car the transmission died. What would have been better you driving out and have it fail on you? Your decision replace the trans and hope you can sell or give this car to your kids. You have already spent the down payment on that new car. Your old trusty honda actually is unsafe by todays standards. New Civic is roomier drives better has more power gets better gasmileage and mulit air bags in there to protect you.

Your not providing enough information for me to answer this question accurately. With the age of the vehicle in question it is entirely possible for murphys law to kick in. Has the transmission been frequently serviced? Why was the vehicle taken into the shop to begin with? Was any service preformed on the transmission while it was in the shop?When a transmission goes without being serviced for the life of the unit the transmission fluid itself becomes very burnt. When this happens debris and burn material are picked up the the fluid. This causes lots of wear on the internal transmission parts and can cause premature failure.

Well, it looks like you had a question, and in adding information started a new question rather than go back and add comments to your question.You might want to delete this, get your points back, go back to the original question and add these details there.

he just wants your old transmission.saying that it is broken and needs to be replaced is the perfect way that he can get it.

scam - is this clown even legit?Get a hold of the better business bureau (www.bbb.com)This sounds like another HACK mechanic that needs to be shut down.....
