    You can easily contest that.

      And it would also have clogged up my entire cooling system, could have fouled some of the valves and created more of a headache than it's worth.

      If I'd known it was going to turn into Niagara falls I would have left my car at a mechanics near work instead of trying to get home, but I thought that filling it up with coolant would get me home if it had gotten me there.

        Really? If the garage has asked that the city give tickets to anybody on their property, then I think I'm probably straight out of luck...

          Nah, it's easy enough to flush.

            Generally if they don't want someone to park on their property they post no parking with a warning of towing and impounding.

              Get some Bar's Leaks and prep yourself to buy a new radiator.

                There was a no parking sign (with warning). But it's always been customary in my experience that if you break down at night or on the weekend that you can leave your car at a garage with a note. They get your business, you get a place to put your car until they open.

                  That is what I have seen too...

                  If they don't do that, they are a strange, ****ty, mechanic.

                    I really do sympathize with you, KH.

                    Last year, my then 15-year-old car had to be taken to the local Chrysler dealership because its computer core died (along with a few other things). By the time I got out of there, I was $675 lighter in the wallet. Still, cheaper than taking on a $200 to $400 car payment every month. And, thank goodness for savings! I can't recommend that enough. Save. Save! Save!!

                      What's the mechanic's verdict, KH?

                        New radiator. Couldn't just recore, apparently.

                        270$



                        However, I also decided to fight the ticket in court.

                        Apparently it's a 6 month wait for court dates.

                          (I'm also a suspicious bastard, so before I payed I went outside and checked under my hood to make sure they had actually put in a new radiator)

                              I did that when I got an oil change. I checked it right after the oil change.

                              I think it is reasonable to do.

                                Umm.. remember the time I fought that ticket in court (1.5 years ago?).
