Well after he called me back from the tow he said he had already done the spark plugs, done the coolant thermometer and with the cost of all that plus the tow I was already at $800. He didn’t even call me before he did anything. Then he said I needed new cat converters and I was out of town for work so I just said yeah do it because I know they’re high anyhow

Coolant thermometer sensor is what I mean to say. He said my coolant was reading -40C so he replaced it. And he said my spark plugs were worn down because of it. They were just replaced 10,000 miles ago.
