What exactly did they say?, just a bad pump or is their more to it?
You can drive without p/s for a bit until you get some cash to repair your problem but i think it would require a new belt to run with out p/s.

Go to the scrap yard and find one. But yeah if you don't mind driving without it just do that. It won't hurt the rack and pinion.

IMHO firestone has a bunch of "I just got out of tech school and i think i know everything" wannabe mechanics. take it to a real shop.

you said you were a college student living on your own, but in this post you said that your mom controls you, im confused.

LOL thanks a lot. Oh well it's to be expected. I'm strictly high performance though just learning to work on drag and circle track vehicles.
