I just took my 1990 honda prelude si into the shop (EconoLube) to get some work done. They were to replace the two front CV Joints, change transmission fluid, and change a couple belts under the hood. The reason for changing the belts is that there was a fairly loud squeaking noise coming from under the hood especially when i was in idle. This was gonna be $600....
So we agree and tell them to go ahead... One of the guys calls back in a couple hours and says when they were changing / taking off the belts, the "Harmonic Balance broke loose and fell to the floor." He goes on and on about what it is, what it's connected to, and then tells me it's gonna be an extra $250 for parts/labor to fix this. Does anyone know if this sounds legit?!? Damn, pretty soon it's not gonna be worth the cost of fixing! I am so fustrated, the total will now be over $900... Any suggestions??
