a week ago today we went to town to look into a set of new mattresses....... We we never look into anything unless we buy.... We bought a set for out bed....Needless to say they cost an arm & leg but we figured we could do this and still have enough to go see DH family in Arkansas..... There to be delivered a week from today....... Almost over two Thousand dollars....Well we took my car to the garage last monday and the guy stuck us for what he could for putting a belt on the car and some brake fluid in.... over a hundred thirty dollars....... He said Labor........ He said we needed to take it to a transmission place as he didn't have a guy who worked on them and said to take it to this one place as he thought it was just a little switch in the tranny....So today we go to town again... Took it to the Transmission shop.... well they put a machine on it .. course we didn't see it, and the guy comes out and ask DH to come back to the auto garage part, he comes back and I say, well... whats up. The guy looks at me and says heres what he has ... We need to give him eight hundred up front... and they will tear my tranny down and fix it ... then probably cost between Twenty Three Thousand to thirty Five thousand to get the car back and he would drive us home himself to cal city, I sat there with my mouth open and then said... Say What!!!!! He said the eight was for labor... I looked at DH and he looked in shock.......So I ask the guy if he had a card and he sorta run to get it and I said I'll call you.......................We couldn't believe it......So I called Missy and she said she was having the same thing done only at a different place and foe only sixteen thousand.... So I got her info and were going to town again next week........I can't believe all this is happening...We have to get it fixed or a new car cause it won't pass a smog test right now and will be due one on the renewal coming up and I'm dead set againest a new one so DH says we'll get it fixed....... What a worry .....
