My car overheated on my way home from work one day. Im not sure how long it was running hot because i didnt notice it until i got close to home and it started bucking and acting goofie. I let it cool down and restarted it. Thats when it started missing really bad.
So i had my car towed to the garage and they told me its not worth fixing that the supercharger fluid leaked down into the engine and caused all the problems and would need a new engine and supercharger. It almost seemed like a BS story and they didnt want to work on it. Im not sure how they came to that conclusion with out ripping it apart. Like an idiot i didnt question it but i was at work and didnt really have time to.
Before i took it to the garage i checked the oil for water and foaming in the radiator and all looked well.
I cant take it anywhere else due to my limited budget. What can i ask the garage to check? Should i have them change the plugs/wires and thermostat. The plugs probably have about 30-40k on them.
Thanks
