She also trusted Buick dealer but after some time of taking her car to the mom & pop place she realized you could get your oil changed & air filter changed without all the other stuff and a $500.00 bill. Maybe its time you put down your foot and just take the car for a second opinion. My grandmother was a tough lady but she trusted people too much and it cost her money. The dealer might be correct but the whole start of this thread and the $6,500 dollar motor tells me something is wrong and now its a pully that cost 6,500 but they are giving you a deal. It just seem fishy.

Totally understand where you're coming from.

Will do the best I can. Thanks.
