1999 Jeep Wrangler Repair Question
Mileage: 190,000 miles.
After having radiator replaced, the mechanic told me that it blew a freeze plug and would be an additional 900.00 can this be true?
Asked by carlaashcraftAnswer

OF COURSE YOU WANT TO SEE IT!
SHOW ME IN AN INSPECTION MIRROR!
SHOW ME (AND MY AUTOMOTIVE KNOWLEDGEABLE FRIEND)......I WILL LOOK FOR TOOL MARKS (TAMPERING)...IF ANY (BEFORE I GIVE THE GO AHEAD ON A REPAIR
I WOULD ALSO CALL FOR A SECOND/THIRD/FOURTH OPINION---GIVE THEM YOUR ENGINE SIZE AND THE POSITION/LOCATION OF THE FREEZE PLUG IN QUESTION
IF YOU CAN GET A BETTER PRICE (I KNOW FELLERS AROUND HERE WOULD DO IT FOR $300 OR SO, AND THAT'S IF THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THE HEAD ON A 4.0L)....SHUCKS, IT MAY BE EZ AND VERY ACCESSIBLE!...YOU MIGHT COME OUT AHEAD PAYING TO TOW IT ELSEWHERE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE BEEN....WELL.......VIOLATED!
