Car Taint

It has seemingly returned. The story goes as follows:

• Car was making noise.
• Car taken to shop. Told that Car has a bad motor mount, which is causing noise. Bad motor mount on Car is due to an oil leak, which they can't find since there's oil all over the engine. Recommended Car be taken to detailer, who can clean the engine.
• Detailer called about cleaning Car's engine, appointment made.
• After arriving for Car's engine appointment, told that Car's engine could not be cleaned due to age of Car. After some debate, detailer agrees to clean Car's engine "after the cars that are ahead of you". Walk the four miles home. Much drama made of inability to return to detailer before they close (since they took 4 hours to get to Car's engine, despite Car's appointment). Charged $50 to clean Car's engine over the phone, an event that was apparently without precedent in the annals of detailer's history, which meant that it took 10 minutes to make it happen.
• Car returned to shop, where mechanic informs me that detailer only cleaned the top of Car's engine, meaning I'd mostly wasted my $50. Can't find oil leak on first examination, told to bring Car back after driving Car a few days with the oil dye in.
• Car returned to shop on Saturday, told would be ready around 2 pm. Estimate given of $600.
• Call received from shop around noon on Saturday, whereby mechanic asked if Car had had any coolant leak problems (not that I was aware of) and informed me that he'd broken a pipe leading to the heater core that was essential if Car was to have coolant remain in the engine. Parts would arrive no sooner than Monday.
• Parts don't arrive Monday.
• Parts arrive Tuesday, Car is repaired. $800 bill presented. No refund given for broken pipe.

Total cost to repair Car: $850.

Having Car back: Not really so priceless.
