Mechanic Made my car undrivable
Arkansas Jul 26, 2026
I took my 2013 chysler 200 to the shop with problems of over heating. I had the oil changed and the radiator flushed, and it was still having issues. I was able to drive it with the heat on and it would keep the engine from being too hot. I took it to a dealership that works on these brands and during the inspection they pressurized the radiator which caused it to spray water and coolant everywhere making it undriveable. They’ve kept it at the shop for 4 days now and the communication has not been the best. They’ve kept price of getting the radiator and both thermostats replaced would be almost $2000. This seems like I have to pay them regardless since it’s not able to drive. What can I do in this situation? I desperately need a car rn to get to work, but fortunes I have friends and family that can take me to work in the meantime. Location: Arkansas
