>And most mechanics will refuse to install some transmission that you just picked out of the junk yard
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Basically learn to be a man and pick up a wrench and stop going to certified car repair places, soyboy.
If your time really was that expensive and important, you wouldn't be fucking around with 15 year old shitboxes
Need some car help
They're all full of shit and never did something like that themselves.
New suspension is needed.
You are absolutely getting raped by that overall wearing jew, you need to take it to another, better mechanic.
There is no way in hell swapping a transmission for a lexus 430 is 7k.
You absolutely need a 2nd opinion far away from that garage.
Also you probably don't need struts yet.

Maybe I live in a bubble but I bought new struts for my shitbox for 50$ each. I understand they might cost more for a Lexus, but not that much, jaysus. Labor probably makes up 2000$ of that price label. Tranny job is quite involved, but struts is a one day job
Uhmmm I went to 2 different mechanics and 2 different transmission shops and the lowest price I found to change the tranny in my altima was 5.6k. I'm not even joking. I would be amazed if anyone would do it for under 5k
>Transmission blew after 4 months
Chances are it was thrashed on heavily before you bought it. This ls430 didn't have any records of the transmission fluid changes, did it? Aisin transmissions are fucking tanks, but aren't invulnerable if its ran low on old shitty fluid.
Go buy a used one for $400-$500 and throw it in yourself dumbass.
The transmission job is 3.3k
With the suspension/ strut thing + a couple smaller things like brakes it's 7k.
