Any Aggies out there?
My son's car is broke in Aggieland and I need to know of a shop that won't take him for a ride. I heard some good comments about Olympic Automotive but they wouldn't answer their phone yesterday.
Any body know a reputable shop in Bryan/College Station Texas?

He has a 99 escort with I think a blown head gasket. I was about to pay someone to change it until I found out about the 600-1500 labor charges. Parts on top of that. I don't think they were being dishonest I just don't know any of them. I do so much of my own work I forget what it costs to pay someone else. For that kind of money I can afford to go get it and bring it home then take it back after I'm done. It's just a long way down there.

By friend with the shop near Conroe said that they are bad about overheating and if it is a head gasket, (he has one in his shop right now). The single overhead cam engines run about $600 to $800 parts & labor but sometimes they heat up enough to damage the valve guides and drop a valve. That means a used motor which would be $1200 or so installed depending on what is out there at the time. I sent you my # if you'll call me, I'll hook you up with this mechanic.
