After dealing with my kitty yesterday, I went ahead and took DD's car into the shop to have the struts done--as we've planned for months, just waiting on the SS check.

Mari,

I'm glad you vented that it can be agrevating. Never a bad idea to let the presure off the cooker!

I have the only truly honest mechanic left out there. He has just a little shop and it's just him. He makes most of his money by dealing with dealers so he doesn't ever charge us much. One repair bill was $20. He's just a gem. I wish I could ship him to you for the day!

Hope things get better.

Love,

Jamie

My Toyota is now in the big junkyard in the sky due to the antics of a repair shop recently. When I took it in last fall for a tune up, they didn't top the fluids, and didn't tell me. Well, when the cold weather came, the engine block cracked. I had to spend all the money I saved for my wedding on another used car:(. The whole thing pisses me off because it could have been prevented. Those shops don't care, though:/!

Express!
