We recently took our truck, a Honda Ridgeline, into a shop for transmission problems. We have been told that the transmission, as well as the radiator both need replaced. The radiator evidently leaked into the transmission. After a $2,600 quote, we had another call from the same shop informing us that the engine was now also shot. Apparently carbon monoxide is to blame for ruining the engine. We are now looking at a total of $6,000 in repairs. Oddly enough, the shop recommended not doing it for the time/money wouldn't be worth it. What would you suggest we do next? Is it possible for carbon monoxide to ruin the engine?

MAYBE THERE WAS A COMMO ERROR IN THERE SOMEWHERE? A "GAS" AIN'T GONNA RUIN AN ENGINE

I'D GO WITH ANOTHER OPINION

STOP IN A POPULAR AUTO PARTS STORE, ASK TO SPEAK TO THE COMMERCIAL PARTS MANAGER. (BEFORE 5 PM). HE'S DELIVERED PARTS TO MANY OF THESE FOLKS FOR A WHILE AND HAS SEEN THE WAY THEY OPERATE AND ACT. HE WILL KNOW OF A DECENT, INEXPENSIVE SHOP, THAT DOES QUALITY WORK (ASK HIM IF HE WOULD USE THEM)

AFTER YOU FIND THE RIGHT GUY

TOW/ PUSH/ DRAG THAT PUPPY OVER THERE FOR QUOTE #2

AND YES, THE STEALERSHIP IS NOT THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN!
