A) You don't have a clue
B) You can't afford to have the work done
C) You really didn't want peoples opinions, you just wanted someone to agree with your clueless guess, and you didn't get it.

You have obviously misunderstood me somewhere along the way. I do know that the shop is reputable, but I don't think blindly trusting someone with ~$100k is smart in anyone's book. A little confirmation and checking goes a long way, particularly the first time doing business with someone, regardless of their reputation. Ever heard the quote,"Never trust nobody!"?
A) I absolutely have a clue.
B) I'm pretty sure I know what I can afford. I can afford to do whatever I want with the car, but I'm also smart enough (and have enough of a clue) to know that I don't want to be wasteful in spending a bunch of unnecessary money just because some guy on an internet forum told me I should.
C)I do want people's opinions, that's why I asked. I wanted to know if I was off base and have had confirmation from a few that his number was on the high end, and that mine may have been on the low end. You have not given me any of the answer I sought. You've done nothing but attempt to belittle me and pound your chest when you in reality don't have a ****ing clue who I am or what I'm about.
