honestly it makes more sense to phrase it along the lines of “hey so this gasket/seal is the current problem. based on the age/milage of this vehicle. what can happen when we fix this seal, it may worsen or cause another seal to leak. we could just do this seal that is currently leaking or replace all of them as preventative maintenance.” or at least that’s how i’d phrase it as a tech.

On average, how much does it cost to seal an engine or any areas that leak?

I’d just check my oil before and after every commute that I can and keep it filled until I can afford resealing the whole engine

Well, the customer won’t have to worry about no more leaks and the mechanic don’t have to do it two or three times or more so you do it all at once even if it’s a little expensive in the long run, you’ll thank that mechanic

Real talk I was always told start with the smallest problem first and work your way up because you can spend stacks and it could just be a fuse.

Well brother.. keep it simple. What do you recommend? Literally. If it was your car and had that many oil leaks and you know the best result for that situation is option A . Then rule out option B.

as a good mechanic you did exactly what you needed to do, it’s the customer who chose the service against your expertise, you gave them a choice and they chose poorly

To do a full reseal on a 05 Silverado could be around 3000 . That’s more than the truck is worth. I’ll sell it for 3000 obo.
