Thank god for non-interference engines.
I assume it was either an A. defective belt or B. not installed properly, as it only had 25,000 miles on it. You guys think I should take it back to the mechanic that did it and demand he fix it for free? That would present a towing issue, granted, as he's an hour away; whereas there's another shop at the bottom of my block that I could literally push the car to. At least I know why my car is not starting now. |

Yea, probably not.
I had a mechanic try to tell me today that it was an interference engine. I called him on his bull**** "well I'm just going by what the manual says". He's just an asshole trying to make some extra cash off a college kid. For a non-interference engine, it sure did make an ungodly clanking sound when it broke. eep... |
