@angelphyre you go girl! That's awesome! I google everything to see if I can do it myself before forking out the cash.
Getting ready for bed. Have a good night everyone

My wife has sprung an early dinner on me--well, not exactly, since the chicken has been stewing in the crockpot all day, but--still, it's early.
Good night, Treefam!

Funny, I took my car through one of those quick oil change places. Normally, I change my own engine and cabin air filters, but today, I decided, what the hell and had them do it. Holy crap, now I remember why I change them. The mark up was more than double what I pay at the auto parts store!
Have a wonderful evening, everyone!
Way to go!NAE
I can commiserate on that one Count...just went by my local mechanic this afternoon to see if they could reprogram the second key to my car since they had replaced the ignition a few months ago, which at the time I didn't have the second key on me...they had told me to bring it by anytime and they'd take care of it...well when I got there today, the idiots couldn't figure out what needed to be done (the guy who originally did it wasn't there) and they told me I'd have to get a locksmith to do it...I don't think so!...Went home and looked it up and found the instructions for how to do it and had it done myself in 20 seconds! And they wanted me to pay a locksmith a $100 to do that!

Not nice!NAE
I can add to that: the manager called to say that he was just about to sign off on my car for pickup when he noticed there was no warranty number for the new water pump. The tech (who had told him the car was ready) said, "Oh yeah, I've ordered that. It will be in tomorrow."
Tomorrow it is, I suppose....
Have a wonderful evening, everyone!

One time I took my truck to a place to get new tires. They came out later and tried to tell me my brake seals were bad and I needed new rotors and pads. Total cost for the brake work would be $600. I've done all my automotive work for years (a lot of mechanics in the family that I've learned from). I knew the rotors and pads were a little worn and planned to replace them (about $90 in parts). I also knew my seals were NOT leaking. I told them "thanks for letting me know" and went on my way. The owner came into my parents' restaurant a couple of days later and my Dad (who was a mechanic for many years) proceeded to tell him what we both thought of the repair estimate. I wonder how many suckers fell for that nonsense? Maybe that's why they are out of business.

Decent evening here, still pretty warm and supposed to get humid again tomorrow.
Think I'll go for a walk. Catch y'all later.

When I was younger AND had older model, easier to work on, vehicles, I did most of my own routine maintenance, repairs, and brake jobs, but now that I'm older AND my car is newer, I take it in, but I do get second opinions for major items.
Good Night / G'Mornin' and Good Vibes Tree Fam!

Good morning everyone. I slept through my first alarm this morning :/ thank goodness I heard the second one go off.
Hopefully it's not going to be rainy again today. I really don't want to be slow at work today... Yesterday drug on forever. Coffee is ready, I'll check back in later

Good morning treefam. Been away for a few days. Wasn't feeling like myself. Feeling a little better now. I have days like that sometimes. Way too much to catch up on, so i apologize in advance if i'm way behind on things.

It's my Friday, woot!
I have to W, then drive to SF and back, so I doubt I'll be back until tomorrow morning.
Have a great day and evening,

Glad you are back and feeling better @DaleH1985 I know what you mean, I have days like that too.
Seems like another really slow boring day here:/ wish things would pick up some
