I took our car in a couple of weeks ago for an oil chain and they told me I needed about $750 worth or work done to it. We are leaving for Flordia the next week, so I wanted to make sure our car was in top condition. I took it to a Christian machanic, which I had never been to before, and they told me that I only needed a water pump replaced and non of the other stuff. It only cost us a little over $200 instead. It burns me up when they take advantage of people who don't know any better.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08395634864687184901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2510877208806977445.post-6983297369008669962009-06-02T20:42:28.603-05:002009-06-02T20:42:28.603-05:00Ugh...we had one of those nearly $200 visits to fi...Ugh...we had one of those nearly $200 visits to fix the air conditioner by cleaning it. Rule of thumb that we learned: clean the thing by spraying it out with the hose at the beginning AND the end of the air conditioner season. It keeps it running better...we havent had to call them out since! (and we felt really dumb after we paid to have ours cleaned...)Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08539535486619806925noreply@blogger.com
