1998 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Automatic 119000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
so ive noticed that without the a.c. or heat on the vents seem to be getting very hot..one day i get into my car and teh passenger side window is fogged up slightly and i smell antifreeze..check the radiator and there is no antifreeze in there..so bring it to a mechanic he tells me it is the heating core, and it cost me 1300$..i get it back, the front passenger side is soaking wet with anti freeze, i dry it tehn drive the car around teh block and it is soaking wet again, so i get it towed there..they say that it was a a pocket that gets filled with water that they forgot to empty out..ok so then i get the car back a 2nd time...now i notice antifrreze leaking from near the water pump onto the street..obviously i cant drive it and i have to take back again..now its beeen almost a week that i have been without a car, and they arent open on the weekends so im gonna hav to wait another 3 days..i just wanna know if soemthing else is wrong am i going to have to pay for it?? and is there a possibilty that they misdiagnosed the problem from teh start? if something else turns out to be wrong can i take them to court to get my money back cause i told them i wasnt going to fix the car if it was going to cost too much..?
