I recently hit the 200 K mark on my 95 ES and yesterday the car overheated... It was leaking like the water pump was toast and one of my hoses had steam spewing from it. Well, I had it towed to Pep Boys. They initially quoted me $650 for a new radiator and hose. When I called to check the status this morning, they basically said they weren't equipped to do the work and I need to take it to someone who does "major engine" work. The tech talked about possible cracked head, rebuilt engine, timing belt, etc. I keep up with the maintenance on the car and it's somewhat surprising that it could (possibly) be so serious.
Any thoughts, observations, advice, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
