Overheated...

On our way back from Rock Springs Cafe on Saturday we were about 20min away from home on the I-10 when Mindi's car all of a sudden started overheating & stalled.  Luckily she made it to the side of the freeway.  I text Darin & Chris to let them know what was going on.  Darin had our daughter Ruth & the neighbor girl with him, so I told him to go ahead & take Tyra home, then come back to help us, but he just brought her back with them because home was too far out of the way & would have taken that much longer to deal with the situation.  So I kept he mother updated by text.  We ended up getting the car towed to Cams Automotive & Performance, off Buckeye & 40th Street. 

This morning Mindi heard from Cams & and they wanted to charge her $1100 to remove & rebuild the head in order to fix the compression.  He also said he had no idea why it was overheating, which didn't sound very professional, to either of us.  He should at least have a few ideas.  She posted her delima on Facebook & several friends went about trying to help her, find someone she could trust that would give her a reasonable price.  A few of her friends on FB said that price seemed pretty high.  So her day has been filled with phone calls while I researched what a Uhaul Car dolly would cost & other possible mechanics.
