One of the problem areas is going to be where my dad had a sort of
garage/workshop with a cement rubble floor. He did a lot of work on his
cars there so I suspect the dirt will have to be removed. I finally talked
him into getting rid of the awful thing Anyone else dealt with this kind
of problem?

-- I will address this one i had the same problem when i bought this 5
acre property, only there were 4 places w concrete and oils etc pluss
where he had parked junk cars in several places, I hired a bucket
loader to dig down and remove the contaminated dirt to 2 ft and
replaced half of it with "clean" dirt from other places on the property
where i knew I would not put gardens then had compost broutht in to
finish the fill even after all lthat there are still places that no
deep rooted plants will last
