Description of the problem	A few weeks ago, i experienced an alert regarding my engine overheating (ac off due to engine over heat, engine overheat idle engine). I turned my car off and allowed it to cool down before continuing my travels home. Once i reached my home, i scheduled an appointment at grand prize chevrolet in nanuet, ny for thursday, june 27. The mechanics at this dealership found that my water pump and hoses needed to be replaced. This is a $1600 job, and i paid to have this work done, i was not able to pick my car up from the dealer until june 29. About two weeks later on friday, july 12, i received the engine overheating alert once again. I promptly called grand prize again, and scheduled the earliest appointment i could. I was not able to bring my car in to be looked at until tuesday, july 16. Again, the mechanics at this dealership found a different problem with my car. They informed me that the coolant tank needed to be replaced along with the radiator cap. I had both of these items replaced at no cost. I asked them to test the engine once again to be sure that the problem had been resolved. Upon checking the engine, they found that my engine was damaged and i would either need a new engine head or a completely new engine. I was informed that a new engine head would cost about $4200 and a new engine would cost about $8000.
