Okay, you've heard me go on about car repairs in the last year.
Today's a little different than usual.
I'd been holding out from taking our van in. Mostly regular stuff, needed to get tires changed as I slid further than I had inteded into several intersections the last snowfall. Liquids changed. And an engine light that came on, oh about 3 months ago. I wasn't looking forward to taking the van in.
Sliding into intersections and the steering wheel shaking uncontrollably, as I drove, was the last straw.
Took the van in this morning expecting another $500 plus bill. I don't think car bills come in less than $500, and increments thereof.
Well, I go to pick it up this afternoon. And after some brand new tires. An engine light that is no longer on. Steering that is stable. An oil change and a few other things, the bill came in at a whopping $290. With labour adding up to all of $21. $21? I'm used to labour being at least twice the price of parts.
I was actually happy to spend the money. If such a thing can be said. I also told the guy he had a customer for life! And lots of really good recommendations.
So, if you ever need something done in the car...might be worth the drive to Port Colborne! I like it so much, I moved here!
