repair estimate

So the car repair shop came back with an estimate for repairs, making the van now cost about double what SBF originally paid for it. $4400 for all sorts of brake work and new latches for the back door. Also, the front calipers were sticking, making it shimmy. Yikes! Apparently this will make it safe for driving down mountain passes. That was a concern of mine. That is always a concern of mine. Even in normal, new, well-maintained vehicles that I have taken on mountain passes. It's one of my strongest anxieties. I have MONTHS to worry over it. And MONTHS to be assured that it will all be JUST FINE. We're waiting to hear back about the A/C.
