Took my car to get a checkup today. Just your normal maintenance. Was told that I need brakes… and a battery. Unfortunately, that will have to wait until I have more money. At the very least I need to get a second opinion… because you should always do that especially after the prices they quoted me (over $1000 because I need new rotors too… Gah!).
I miss my old shade tree mechanic ( st_sardonicist knows what I’m talkin’ about).
Yuck. And brakes are the things you can’t ignore. And why did you come back from Brazil?
I’m beginning to wonder more and more why I ever came back from Brazil. I was sipping beers on the beach last week. 🙁
You could be sipping beers on the beach in Chicago, you just don’t need a cooler to keep the rest of the six pack cold. ;^)
I miss him, too. Now I pay through the nose.
Definitely get a 2nd opinion. Try to find a local shop that has a good rep. If you took it to the dealer they will only use their parts instead of parts made by a 3rd party.
