Damn!

Well, cars outta the shop and it sounds nice and quiet now.The old water pump sounded nasty.I have two new problems though.I get my car home from the mechanics and the trunk has a huge dent on the top.So I jump back inthe car to haul *** back to him now the car wont start.So I call him,Did you hit something in my car theres a huge dent.*No I didnt hit nothing...I noticed it when you dropped it off* **** you! I went into my trunk to get my tools and there was no dent.*Oh I have a friend that can fix it bring it back monday.I dont want you to think I did it...*

I dont know what to do he a cheap mechanic,that gets you in and out when he says he will.**** he only charged $200 for waterpump & fan clutch.I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt being that its a busy lot.But He ****ed up saying he seen that **** when I pulled up....Im see monday

Are you sure he actually replaced the water pump? Does it look new? I wouldn't even think he could have bought the pump for $200 let alone the labor and fan clutch.

Good news my car starts now.it was weird when the car was hot.It would only start for 10/15 seconds then shut off.If I let it cool off it would start and drive normal until I shut it off.then I would have to let it cool again.I guessing its a vacuum leak. If it continues Im gonna have to park it and drive my accord.
