Hey, how's it going.
I'm a mechanic looking to do some work on the side, and I can probably help you out with your car. How bad is the damage to the car?

From Kristen ****** to Me:
Hi Mike. The damage isnt bad...my hood is bent and i think the headlight cracked...but I took it for an estimate and they told me i was looking at at least a couple thousand for repairs. im not sure if they are trying to rip me off so take a look if you want. sorry...this is the best picture i could get with my phone
thanks!

From Me to Kristen ******:
Ouch...that doesn't look good, Kristen. From glancing at the picture, it is obvious you are going to need a new hood, fender, and headlight. It looks like your headlight is indeed cracked, and it looks like you probably severed the headlight fluid line as well. From the way the hood is bent, it looks like your transmission has been dislodged and will probably have to be replaced. Judging by the headlight damage, I may have to replace your headlight fluid pump as well, and I need to take out the motor to get to that. It is going to be a lot of work.
How much were you looking to spend to get this fixed?
From Kristen ****** to Me:
wow i didnt think it was that bad...do you think you can fix it? i cant afford to spend alot of money on this.
From Me to Kristen ******:
I can absolutely fix it. I can probably steal the parts you'll need from a junkyard, but you will have to post my bail if I get caught again. Last time, bail was about $400 and I had to pay another $500 fine after court. As for the labor, it is going to cost you about $1500. Replacing the headlight fluid pump is very difficult, and will probably take a lot of time to do. So you are looking at anywhere from $1500 to $2400.
From Kristen ****** to Me:
ok thanks anyway. that is too much for me...ill just deal with it for now i guess
From Me to Kristen ******:
Kristen, I strongly advise you to get this fixed immediately. You will not pass inspection without a headlight fluid pump, and it is very dangerous to be driving without one. It is very likely that your car could catch fire and explode while you are driving.
Look, I understand you are on a budget and I'd be willing to knock a couple hundred bucks off of the cost of labor if I can have your car's CD player. You won't get a better deal anywhere else.
From Kristen ****** to Me:
what?! the other guy didnt say anything like that. im going to get a few more opinions first, ill let you know. thanks
From Me to Kristen ******:
Don't take too long - your car is in immediate danger.
From Kristen ****** to Me:
I just called the auto center and they said there is no such thing as a headlight fluid pump...or headlight fluid...they were laughing...what is your problem douche bag?
From Me to Kristen ******:
Whoever you talked to there obviously has no idea what they are talking about. Look, you can see it in the picture, you are clearly leaking headlight fluid. I pointed it out in the attachment, it is what the red arrow is pointing to. You can see it leaking from the headlight.

From Kristen ****** to Me:
Ok ass hole...thanks for wasting my time
From Me to Kristen ******:
Sorry for trying to save your life. You'll be sorry when that fluid ignites and makes your transmission explode while you are driving.
