Why do I have so many car problems? Ugh! This was a few weeks ago but I couldn’t let the post go to waist. What happened was awful. Even so, I still have to go back later this week or next to get a part that is already paid for.
Hours after my car was fixed from having nails in my tire the check engine light came on. I brought up my car problems in the post here if you want more info. It talks a little bit about what happened). The person whose car I borrowed drove my car to my grandpa’s house to see if he knew what was wrong and could fix it. Long story short he didn’t know but he did have the codes for it (he has a code reader).
I called and found out because of what the car was doing, it had to get towed. Plus the car didn’t drive well over 20mp so I agreed. When we got to the shop the man didn’t know what was wrong when I explained. However, he said it could still be ready by tomorrow. The next day I get a call from the shop and they say whats was wrong with my car. They say they need to replace all four cylinders and all four spark plugs. I only have a four-cylinder car so I’m not quite sure how it drove with all four cylinders and spark plugs needing to get repaired. That was the first weird part of this shop.
They called me at 4:45 pm saying it could be picked up. I told my grandpa so he could drive me to get it. However, luckily, I checked the hours first. Online it said they were open until 7pm. That was only to take repairs. What?! They only had the office where you could get your car keys open until 5pm. To make it worse it was on a Friday. So I called them before 5 and asked if they were open tomorrow since the website was wrong before. Thankfully they were open for four hours Saturday and I could pick up my car.
It came to Saturday and I went to pick it up. First the guy wasn’t sure where the keys were. Next they did more than they said, but it was already done so I just wanted to get my car and never come back to this place again. After a good half an hour I got my car keys and we were ready to leave. My grandpa came with me to my car I said bye and started my car. It still made a noise. UGH!! Why me?
I marched back inside and told them and they looked at me like I was crazy. Finally I got someone to come outside and look at it. Luckily my grandpa turned around and came back to help me. The guy said they could fix it in a week except it was already paid for and I wasn’t waiting a week.
The worst part was that he agreed with my grandpa and fixed it then. Well let me explain. I was mad at the fact they rolled their eyes at me when I went in so then I went to get my grandpa and he said it and they came out. Like for real just because he’s a male and I’m not I don’t know what I’m talking about. This drove me insane!! One more thing about this shop. When I got my car back they used a quarter tank of gas and trashed my car. Needless to say I will not go there anytime soon.
One more thing about this place… It was so sexist of them to not believe me and come out when my grandpa came in and talked they believed him. Well I guess I could also say they thought I was naive instead and didn’t know what I was talking about. Needless to say either way they really hit a nerve.
