your car sounds healthy. i would keep driving, 88K is just breaking it in.
your mechanic probably has a financial interest so his opinion may not be at all subjective.

"While having some unrelated work done, I asked my shop to perform a compression test and leakdown to get a baseline. I also asked them to inspect the valve guides for wear. He did so and informed me that they were worn "more than normal" and recommended a top end rebuild within the next 5-6K miles.
"


did he SHOW you this while you were there in person or are you just taking his word for it. good mechanics will show you as well as tell you.
