That sucks!!!

Ugh! While I can totally understand how frustrating it is, despite a good deal. As the Devil's Advocate I have to say that a new thermostat, rad cap, and oil change, brake adjustment, here would have cost at least $400.

I feel worse than the dentist. People only come and see us when their cars brake down, and that is never a good day for anyone.

At the same time, that is how we make a living - fixing the broken cars! While we always try to give our customers the best deal, and if they shop around they we see, I know there are people who still think we are taking advantage of them when we are not.

The price of oil is killing us small business people let alone the freight increases on every part that we buy for our customers, so we in turn have to pass those rising costs on to our customers...

Anyway, I hope that you dont have anymore problems with your car!

I know, $105 is pretty decent for what it was, and considering prices here in ES....I used to go to this workshop all the time, then had the "brilliant" idea to go to a cheaper one last year.... and THEY killed my old car!....so, I´m back with the original workshop!...I do try to give the car preventive maintenance (oil changes, brakes, belt changes- which is the next thing coming up, I´ll do that in January)....

Sorry to hear about your car, Marissa!
