Ugh, car problems are the absolute worst. I will send some good-mechanic vibes your way. I usually have to hang on to those since my own car is 10 years old, has a bit of an oil leak, and of course, is falling apart in every other way (no driver's side inner door handle, a crack windshield, etc.)

But, parts. Ugh. Those are the worst. Good luck!
