I was told that I needed a new engine, when I learn that cynlinder 3 has low compression. Is that true?

sometimes places take advantage of women. your name is not recognizable as definately male. did you ask them why it cannot be repaired? does the car burn oil/smoke or something? any engine is repairable, it just may cost less to replace it with a used 1.
