Yeah, those of you who follow me on Twitter may already know.
Anyway, last Sunday my Service Engine Soon light came on in my car. No big deal, I figured I would have it check out after the Labor Day holiday. Come Monday, I pull out of my driveway and my car won't go over 5 mph.
So, I call AAA, have it towed to one of my local shops I use. Go up there Tuesday morning at 8 am and tell them what the deal is and give them the keys. Come 4 pm, the dude still hasn't looked at it. He gets to it on Wednesday morning and says its the throttle body and I have an oil leak. I finally get my car back this morning at 11 am and after paying $450.
I go to school, take an Accounting test, and am on my way to spend the rest of the day with my son who I hadn't seen in five days.I stop for lunch and get back in my car, and my car wont start. So I'm stuck at the mall, have to call a tow truck AGAIN, and bring it over to my main shop.
$350 for the alternator.
BAM. Yes Im mad. $800 in one day for my car which has never given me problems.
