Hi everyone
total newbie here with a new to me 05 crossfire srt6.
found out the following needs to be fixed for $5700 or so. Is that reasonable?

includes an oil change 😎

-Valve cover gasket: Heavy oil leak
-Washer reservoir: cracked, the tech will test the pump after the reservoir is replaced.
-Brake flush: Fluid is very dirty
-Belt: Cracked
-Engine rear crank seal: Moderate oil leak
-Engine and transmission mounts: Collapsed causing a vibration.

 

Congratulations on your new to you SRT-6!
If you're reasonably good with your hands you can do more than half of that list yourself. I hope that you're not taking it to a dealership. They will rip you off bad!
If you're not able to do any work yourself, find an independent mechanic who specializes in Mercedes-Benz. Your car is based on the Mercedes-Benz SLK 32 AMG.
There's all kinds of "how to's" on this site, videos on youtube, etc... I hope this was helpful.

Thanks. Not the dealership. It i, an independent, locally-owned full-service facility that only does BMW Mercedes and Mini. Unfortunately I am not the best mechanic, meaning I couldn’t even change the oil in my riding mower without making a total mess. Which ones would you say someone could attempt to do? While I can repair computers, I can’t say the same with cars 😩

 

I would get at least one more estimate, seems high.

 

Parts cost about $400 and that is for the better stuff; About three days labor for one mechanic @ $100 an hour is $2400. Get another estimate from a reputable shop.
WHEN THEY REPLACE THE REAR SEAL, BE CERTAIN THEY REPLACE THE SEAL AND THE MOUNTING PLATE IT SETS IN!!! NOT just the seal.
How old is the coolant? How old are the plugs? With the valve covers off it is a good time to replace spark plugs and wires. You would need to add that cost to the above figures and about three hours of labor.

PS. You may as well change the differential oil. They will have it up on a lift, so this is the time to do it. They oil from the factory is not good. If that is still in there it will be very black and strong sulfur smell; Replace it with full synthetic.
