Subject: RE: You made it home. You didn't get wet/muddy.


Fontanelle, IA
I am sorry but posts like this really irk me these days. I am not even close to having "mechanic" as an adjective to describe myself.....

Your burb is fixed. You were "inconvenienced" with an extra 2.5 hours of repair downtime and a bill to boot. You were an out-of-towner and probably bumped some poor, local ,old lady's car scheduled maintenance slot so that they could work on yours to get you home. Old lady missed her hair appointment. Mechanic probably had to eat one of those crusty cheese vending machine sandwiches.

People might have moved mountains for you and all you can do is come across as ungrateful. Next time, maybe post in the "where can i find" section about your breakdown and get local referrals as to shops. Do the due diligence and talk to them, schedule said vehicle for towing, spend a night or 2 in a hotel while they get you in... Or, throw a bicycle on the roof and pack a poncho, jacks, all of your tools, acetylene torch in the back of the burb and go. The bike comes in handy when you get ride back and forth to the auto parts store because you never get every right part on the first try....

Thinking about it now... Your bill sounds cost competitive to your alternatives.

Have a better day!
