Thanks guys.
I'm thinking I might just pull it. However, the bugger is their going to sting me $300 for the inspection then no doubt load on some extra to re-assemble it, but even at $500 it's probably worth pulling. When they told me it was going to cost three grand I asked if I could just have it put back and drive it home and that's when they told me I'd need to pay $300 for the inspection and yet more to have it re-assembled again! Needless to say at this point I am extremely disappointed by the service from these guys and wish I had never taken my car to them.
I'll acknowledge that at one point they did call me up to say they had removed the from plate and couldn't see anything wrong. They said they still suspected the solenoid was the problem and said they would need to access the other side to replace it and asked for permission to open up the other side before going ahead. I agreed to have them do that but my goodness, I had no idea it was going to cost this much for them just to inspect it and that the best case for replacing the suspected solenoid was $3000 (or $2500 to replace it with a used one as they graciously offered). I can assure you I would have never started on this path if I had known.
As it is, at the moment I just feel completely sucker-punched into this and must say I am extremely disheartened. I hope that some how some good may come of it, but I have to say at the moment I'm not feeling too hopeful - but we will see how it goes.
