Hello,
My car over heated this morning in pretty cold temps outside. I got it to a mechanic and they quoted me almost $2K! I feel like this may be way too much...
Elbows on the coolant system are leaking
Coolant flush and fill
upper and lower intake gaskets
replace thermostat
O rings and elbows
Oil change (they said coolant will get into oil so they need to change it)
Serpentine belt
new drip pan

Thank you for your help!

Get a second opinion. That sounds like way too much. It is hard to believe that the things listed are bad, and what is a drip pan? This isn't a refrigerator.
