Car came into my shop last week that was towed from the dealership being diagnosed as a head gasket failure was going to cost the customer 3 grand. Engine was shaking check engine light was on. After performing a hydrocarbon test and finding out the head gasket was fine it turned out to be a defective ignition coil. Replaced it all was well and the customer walked out spending about 200 bucks.

Needless to say he got the impression dealership was trying to rip him off as well.

You are a good person! Bravo. Others would have taken advantage of the situation and stuck it to this car's owner. Well done!
