I was told by Aamco that quote. According to a post I read on this
newsgroup Aamco is a bad idea..is there somewhere else I should try?
I live in Denver.

Dear God NO!!!! NEVER go to AAMCO unless there are simply no other
choices. There might be an honest one somewhere but you are rolling
the dice. They will try to get you to let them "diagnose" it for you.
By the time they are done you'll have a basketful of parts with a
choice of "We can rebuild it for you for $3000 or we can give you this
basketful of parts and you can get it towed out of here."
