Hi Marty,
My vote is go visit your daughter, sure you can also find a good shop as well but one on one with her helping and learning is beyond price. I got my daughter to help fixing the wife's Volvo doing brakes etc. and where she is living in a flat one of the guys there was struggling with a brake job and she said get out of the way and let me do it, had it fixed in 30 minutes and all and sundry were amazed as she is a petite little girl not at all the type you would expect to be wrenching on cars.
My thought about Say Ray's is they sound really greedy, sadly lots of auto shops take people for suckers, I know when I was buying an AMG Merc recently the shop I took it to for a pre-buy check over to get the diagnostic computer run commented the rad was leaking and should be replaced. They said they could do it for some huge figure. When I checked as I picked up the car & report there was a small weep around where a hose clamp went on as the clamp was a little loose, which I tightened and took it back to the seller and bought the car. Go see your little car, as another lister commented ship the parts and take some quality time.
Cheers,
Checkpoint Charlie
