The only reason i had it towed into sam galloway is because they said there was a recall on the head gasket and they will take care of it . Covered by the recall. They called after looking at it and said $1700 to repair the gasket and others problems caused by the leaking head gasket. Recall states 60k 0r dec 31 2000 wich ever comes first.
