Is what common? Given a certain make, model, year, and problem
description that a mechanic will know exactly what failed without
opening the hood? Maybe, but not a foolproof means of diagnosis.
An engine siezes from a lack of oil or coolant, or both, when the
pistons and cylinder walls overheat and start melting, etc. The
mechanic pulled the head off the block and confirmed this?
If not have the car towed to a competent mechanic.
