'HELP!! Today my wife caused $17,000 worth of damage
Today, my wife poured about a cup of transmission fluid in the hybrid coolant reserve of our 2006 hybrid rx400h. "Check Engine" light came on after driving it and car won't start.
Can anyone recommend a non-dealership in san diego? We live in Carlsbad. The dealer's estimate is $17,000 (there is no typo here). The car has 50k miles and i would appreciate any suggestions. Thoughts? Sympathy? Divorce attorney? Seriously thanks for your help for alternatives to the Lexu$ Dealer$hip.

Damn serious? 
I hope your ****ting us LOL
but if your not...
I know a couple good people, but they are all in the 626 areas, which is a good 1.5 hours from Carlsbad probably. I used to know a guy in San Marcos, but he closed shop. If you want, i can ask the people i know over here....cuz i dunno about $17,000 in damage...seems pretty freicking crazy.
Why did your wife have a cup of transmission fluid anyways again?...lol

What is written up on the estimated repair sheet?
That is A lot of fixing for a cooling system. If it has integration with the Hybrid electrical system for cooling that might be the expense there. I don't know.
Need details on what was written up for the rest of us to help.

Flush out thew coolant system as lexus would, and then see your results.
-what if it is just a sensor that is picking up an irregularity in the fluid and shutting the system off for safety purposes?
you never know. It may be a really simple fix that the dealer is looking to cash in on.
