Re: So I'm off today
I hate getting the car fixed. The prices are always so astronomical!
It's not even the parts so much that is it's the friggin labor rate!

Re: So I'm off today
It is not under warranty anymore? Everything in my truck broke 5 miles after warranty...so I cried a river and threatened to call corporate. Suddenly they found a way to fix it for free.

Re: So I'm off today
oh I know the feeling. I had to bring my car in today to get the front headlight replaced. My DH couldnt do it because of the way it's in there.
Well we get a phone call that something is cracked and it's now going to cost us $400

Timing belt and water pump are usually considered routine maintainance that's why...
It stinks I know...
Cars are money pits!

I did not know that, tyvm. I usually impersonate the noise of the issue and the dealership miraculously fixes it.

And they both should not need replacing until about 100,000 miles, I thought, so after most warranties are long over. I had it done in my Civic, but I don't remember it costing $1200 -- and I had the dealer do it.
I'm sorry. Car repairs are no fun!
