Paying for car repair is AWFUL

[Jingles]

i brought the car in for a something minor...and as they dig around

gaaaaaaa
Maryah's CV joint and boots need replacing

ug.
I just paid freakin rent - this next cheque was supposed to be for groceries
Ug.
nope it's now for the car

lame-o
lame-o

people talked about kids who took autoshop as some sort of cop out for a 'real' education - but seriously, car fixing would come in handy a lot more then the quadratic equation has

*sigh*

I just got $2400 in free repairs done to my ride.

I need to get hit more often!

i dunno, the quadratic equation has come in handy a couple a times... but i guess knowin how to fix your own car does come in handy - speakin of which, anybody got a hoist - i need to drop my tranny out and fix my exhaust! Four good jack stands would probably do to... feel free to pm if you do and are willing!

thats the beauty of having once worked in the automotive industry.... I still get all the discounts and deals, if u need anything, just pm me or something

I hope you didnt bring it in to Canadian Tire! The workers there are supposed to tell you that your shit needs replacing when it really doesnt. I have heard of a lot of people who have quit from there because that is common practice for that company and they thought it was very unethical.. DO NOT BRING YOUR CAR THERE EVER!

not only that the 16 year olds that they have working in the mechanic shop for 6 bucks an hour don't know shit

good luck! <3

I was at my local Canadian Tire why just the other day getting keys cut and in the service department there was a quite the noise - so naturaly I looked

it seems one of these widely experienced mechanics had put an lady's car on the lift wrong and the car slipped sideways when they were hoisting it and fell like a half a foot and caused some serious damage to the side of the car
and the lady was there
and she was freaking out
and there were rounds of 'sorries' being doled out

So - yeah - i would not be bringing the car to Canadian Tire, it's damaged enough as it is

as my mechanics teacher in high school would say... Never EVER go to the Mongolian Wheel!!! :hehe:

Ugh. I would really just like to have the money to get a new car...
I have a crappy Ford Festiva. Sure, it's gotten me from point a to point b, but it would make much more sense for me to get a new car...it just cost me $500 to get all the lights working in my car again (new relay switch and new headlight switch). This is the SECOND time I've had to replace these two parts in the 2 years that I've had the car...CRAPPY.
