First, thank you all for your expertise and humor.
After seeing the responses flow in on both posts, I called the shop first thing Tuesday morning. I asked if they had started to work on it. The owner replied 'yes', per my authorization, which I gave him mid-Monday afternoon. They stated they'd probably be getting to it later in the week.
I stated that the reason I was calling was my concern about his statement that they'd have to drop the transmission.Owner then said he misspoke and that they do not actually need to drop the transmission. I asked if he had ever done one of these before, he seemed confident, replying 'oh god yes'. I let them continue, feeling reassured.
It's now Wednesday night. I feel that I'm being duped in 1 or both of 2 ways.
1. They really weren't into it yet, but he sensed the possibility of losing business, based on my tone, and lied to keep it in his shop.
2. They got into it and figured out they needed more information, hence the delay.
I should have left the Bentley in the car. I just took it out a few days before the 'convenient' breakdown.
I'll keep this thread posted. I realize my mistake, and will likely get bent over on this one.
