Because of some engine troubles and check engine light we had a tune-up. ($350) Plugs, oil, fuel filter, air filter, air sensor. I was told there was a leak in the cooling system that needed to be repaired. Quoted over $800 to do it. Didn't get this done.
2 weeks latter breaks down when driving. No oil pressure, runs very rough, lots of noise. Shop says looks like a broken camshaft. Internet says if coolant got to the camshaft and seized the bearing this will happen. Also could have been a misfire that caused it. Whatever.
Now, rebuild or replace the engine will be $1600-$3000. Not worth it for this car.
