So you are going to get a lawyer because some part on a 7 year old SUV broke ? you are going to lose that case .

That’s why I want them to post back.  
OP never told us what was needed nor the cost but wants to pay a lawyer.  
Hmm, wonder what the retainer fee is now?

Does the engine turn over (rrr-rrr-rrr) but not start up and run? With more info from you we can give some automotive advice.

If you hire a lawyer, he or she will need someone to diagnose the car problem anyway, so why not leave the lawyer on the back burner (figuratively) for now? Literally, too!
