Need Help Immediately
Does anyone know of a mechanic that can rebuild engines in the DC area? I was driving my car having fun saturday night in fairfax and I did the stupidiest thing on the planet. I was in Third gear doing about 95 and I accidentially shifted into second instead of fourth. So the car is making a loud clicking noise and the oil light is on. I took it to Nissan and they said that my timing chain is loose and the oil pump is gone. They also said that there is metal in the engine. The price they quote to fix the car is upward of 6 grand!! Can anyone help me reduce that price. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Auto's rule (let the flaming begin).
Try salvage yards for a low mileage used one. Or you can check ebay or carparts.com. Most likely will be cheaper to replace than repair because of labor involved.
BTW, 95mph is way over any posted speed limit in the DC area.

I probably caused all types of problems! How difficult is it to replace an engine? And how much do you think it will cost?

you can find an engine for $500 - $800 and labor would be probably $1000..
check a couple shops in the area first on labor then check that site for an engine.. have them drop ship it to the place... search nationwide.. just bite the shipping.. you will get better prices nationwise anyway.. try to go with the same year as your car so all the sensors match up perfectly or it could turn into a nightmare
