Get a second opinion on what ever it is unless they are now saying this part is only $100.00. They had you thinking $6,500 but now they can do it for like half is that how the story is going. So now your think WOW, its only $3,250 and not $6,500 so yea go ahead and fix it.

My grandmother refuses to take it anywhere else since we've been using this Honda Dealership for years now. She trusts them too much and even if they quote $3250, she'll find someway to get it for cheaper.

My grandmother use to take her car to the Buick dealer ship and they would hit her up for ever service they could because she was an easy sale. Finaly I but my foot down and made her switch to a local mom & pop repair shop that would fix just what was needed and did not treat her like a bank. She also trusted Buick dealer but after some time of taking her car to the mom & pop place she realized you could get your oil changed & air filter changed without all the other stuff and a $500.00 bill. Maybe its time you put down your foot and just take the car for a second opinion. My grandmother was a tough lady but she trusted people too much and it cost her money. The dealer might be correct but the whole start of this thread and the $6,500 dollar motor tells me something is wrong and now its a pully that cost 6,500 but they are giving you a deal. It just seem fishy.

You shouldn't trust people who try to F you. Especially when you're married.

Who's the dealer? I know a honda shop foreman very well that can help.
