Vehicle Repair Bill

Just got my repair bill and it is $2100!!!

Two new rear tires, 2 new rear calipers and an ABS module plus labour.

I love the freedom it provides and I need it to get to work, but this is what sucks about having a vehicle, when sh*t goes wrong…and insurance,that’s expensive too.

Fortunately my parents said they will help me out

I just had a 350 dollar bill at the mechanic. Hope my car is nice to me now. Before that I think I had a 550 bill for some exhaust work. I also got a speeding ticket hope it is not too hard on my insurance better slow down I guess so easy to go fast in small cars.

I know a mechanic who’s cheap.

The garage wanted £250 just to fix a coil spring, and he charged me £60 including the part all in

These places are a rip off

I’ve been with this guy since I was 16, I am 43. He is honest and has a very good reputation in the community but I’ve spent about 5 times what I paid for the it in repair costs over the years (I bought it used about 6 years ago). It sucks, but being without it would suck even more.

Miss Pixel had a weekend planned with friends, came home from work on Friday and her whip was making a new and not nice noise (one of the wheels). She has it booked in for Monday so can’t wait to see what that bill is. She took off with my car and forgot to unload my kayak from it before leaving. So much for my own plans tomorrow morning.

Finally repaired. Good to have it back. But it came to $2200 because he had to replace the emergency break cables on top of everything else…
