It's probably too late now but I would definitely have checked with the dealer service department before paying a third party for a repair like that

How long was the warranty? 3 years is not that old especially for that expensive of a repair

I could swear there was a big legal todo about estimates and final price in Connecticut back in the 80s (hence those legal looking signs about estimates in auto places). For that amount it might be worth looking into that.

Did they ever say which parts were being replaced or give you the diagnostic report in the email?

My car is only 3 years old. I figured it would be worth it to fix the car then buy another.

Auto repair places always do this. I'm doing the used car route now, but I leased new cars for years just to avoid those kinds of huge unexpected costs. But today things are different, at least for the moment.
It is shady, but they are all like this. Always have been. What's worse is it's not like they give you a 3-year 36,000 mile warranty.
How much is the car worth? I'd rather put $4,200 towards a used $10,000 car than repair one.

Come to the "hood" and go to People's Choice on Dixwell. The best sandwich shop around.

Not sure about the details of how they add it to their apps, unfortunately, but some of them have a significant fraction of their dates with folks from NYC (sometimes in New Haven, sometimes in NYC)- at least one is in a long term relationship now and spends every other weekend in NYC with their SO.

If you don’t mind my asking, how do your friends handle adding in NYC to their dating apps? Does it seem to make a difference for them? I just moved from another big city and Ive been thinking of doing this since new haven pool is smaller, but seems logistically challenging, so just curious!

The kind of people you date are dependent on who you are and what you attract. Anywhere.

The average age is 30 in town and 10k people live per square mile. So lots of opportunities the kind of people you date will depend on you of course .

I had so much fun dating here and have now been with my wife for seven years! I met so many cool people on the dating scene and wish I could give them all 5/5 stars!

Lots of Yalies are in New Haven for a degree/career goal. Many fine people arrive and leave in a few years, maybe even 6-7 years. The transient nature of the young people make the dating scene narrow and competitive.

We should build the Natural Gas pipeline that mass and nh shot down in 2016. It’s clear we need it for at least a decade as we build renewables.
