yea I know, the last quote the guy originally said 1500 then jumped the quote to 5000

The biggest load of bullshit is that the car just hit 100,000 miles

Rosewell Automotive does excellent work.


Or if you want to tow to fairburn I have a guy that does great work.

And is going to have better prices than traditional shops.


it sucks on the mileage but sometimes how it was maintained has a lot to do with it.

If you can get it to the Forsyth/Dawsonville line.
Very fair and talented mechanic.

That's probably the price for an engine swap.  Did he inspect it before increasing the price?  What do you mean by "threw a rod"?  To actually throw a rod would require the connecting rod to disconnect from the crank shaft and/or piston which would result in immediate and catastrophic damage.  Like a hole in the block and a bug puddle of oil.

I used Ledford's in downtown Marietta for years when I lived on that side of town.
