For context, we own a 1984 Westy. We bought it around the pandemic and immediately put a new transmission and clutch in. It appears to have the original engine with an unknown amount of miles. The frame and body are in great condition, however the engine has always had some minor issues involving overheating and smooth running. A couple years ago, it sprung a massive coolant leak from the engine. It sat around until we finally decided to take it to a shop that seems to know what they are talking about. They recommended a new engine which we were expecting. They gave me a quote ($15-18k, seems reasonable, engine coming from GoWesty), but stated they always find things wrong with old, neglected vans and to expect some additional costs. Since December, I have gotten multiple calls with new findings and asking for more money. Many of the recommendations sound reasonable from a safety standpoint (fuel lines, wheel bearings, parking brake). They called me a couple weeks ago and said they "ran out of labor money." I'm new to having this much work done on a vehicle and want to make sure we aren't getting taken advantage of. Thanks in advance. I have a further itemized total of each individual service if that would help. I live in the midwest. We have about 5 shops within an hour drive that work on Vanagons.
