I don't know much about cars, but if a mechanic tells you to buy another car than keep driving your car to the ground then listen to them. Not many will have the balls to tell you the turth because they see you as a cashcow. No matter how expensive the price is. Rather pay a bit more for someone to do the job right then less and have them do it all over again. The danger is when you drive you expect your car not to fall apart.
