car repairs :(
#12
I sympathize completely. Just got my car worked on yesterday.
For almost two months we have had no gas gauge reading except EMPTY and two other lights kept coming on. Then I would turn the key to start and it would click but no turn over. Anyway, after getting a check I was waiting for, took teh car in and had diagnostics done, new gas tank sensor (everyone kept telling us they needed to put in a new tank, NOT. DH did a check on-line and found they are having numerous problems with same thing in Chevy Trailblazers) put in, and adjust something or another and add some special liquid to help clean everything (not the kind you can buy at auto parts store), and $350. 00 later, she runs great. Every place else quoted over $500 fix.
Most dealers charge way too much. In Denver we had a great mechanic who owned his own shop and did all our vehicles. Guranteed his work for one year. Here, we are limited but our dealer is really great.

Both of our cars are paid off. Once mine was paid off I made double payments on his. Now extra money piles up and I move it over to the Credit Union. Think thats a great idea to open up an account and put that money in it for new car and repairs

sorry you are going through a mess with the vehicle. But at least they're working with you on payment & stuff.
I'm shopping for a new care because the car is trying to have trouble (again) with the transmission. I'm not too annoyed because a) I've been saving up and b) the car has a 100K plus miles on it.
