I have a repair question on a 1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera S?

Question:
The car ran hot and the anti freeze spilled out. Plus it was shaking. The repair man I took the car to said it needed a cooling fan, complete tune up and transmission service. Price $600.00. I Know little about cars, does this price sound right.

that sounds outrageous run a jumper wire to the fan motor and see if it runs, if it doesn't , replace it , if it does come on ,replace the water pump--not a hard job at all, fan motor cost about 35. dollars, water pump and antifreeze around 50.bucks, as for tune up about 20.dollars and trans. service 29-69 dollars depending on who does it ------- so you can see the repair man wants to take you for a ride

Best way to clean off bug spatter?

if the fan broke that would cause it to shake bad but you could get a fan from a junk yard. $600 seems steep for a tune up, replacing the fan, and basically changing the filter in your transmission,the parts shouldnt be more than $80-100 i would do that for about 250 thats just my price mechanics differ

I don't get the transmission service, but it may be because your engine overheated. The cost for the fan is about $115. Figure another $125 for filters, fluids, and tune up parts. Say three hours labor. I think it's worth shopping around, the price seems high.
