Why do car repair places think that because we are women, we are stupid and they can screw us over when repairing our cars? Ugh. So to make a long story short, my car started overheating badly Sat. night - I ended up having it towed to my dealership (still under warranty) and they called to tell me the damage, which would be covered under my warranty. I said great, fix it. Then the guy proceeds to tell me 10 other things wrong w/my car that gee, just happen not to be covered under warranty. Mind you, my car is 5 years old w/only 37,000 miles on it. He's telling me a I need new brakes, etc when my father just replaced the brakes w/in the past year. Thank god for my father who can fix just about anything on a car and keep me from getting screwed. I just needed to vent...I'm so sick of these car places thinking I'm dumb because I'm a woman and they can screw me out of money. Grrr
Grrr, that gets me all worked up as well! I think every girl should be good friends w/a mechanic to avoid being screwed. My dad is a mechanic and he always did all the maintaining on my 1st car. Luckily my hubby is an avid car fanatic and now he takes c/o taking my car into the shop.
