Nissan troubles

[lutach]

Friend of mine has a Nissan Quest and it was having some issues. One of which happened in the Holland Tunnel going to NYC, the vehicle just shut down. It got started again. A few days later, we were going to his brother's house and the vehicle started fine, but a few seconds later it just died. He waited a little and it started fine. His Quest is also out of warranty, so he just took it to his mechanic and only had to pay $200. Funny thing about the problem is that the mechanic already knew exactly what it was. Nissan would've probably charged him a couple grand for the same job. Reason I say that is the fact he had a previous problem and that was how much Nissan was charging and his mechanic only charged him less then $200 to get that previous problem fixed.
