Expensive day but could have been worse

January 13th, 2015 at 06:53 am

B went to go to work today and made it up the street and had to come home, there was a loud banging noise coming from his car.
So he had to take the car to the mechanic who found that there was a stone stuck in the caliper (?)(I'm not great with car terms).
$88 was what we were charged, which has pretty much eaten up the last of the money we were given. But being a car problem, it could have been much worse, just happy that it's fixed and he can go back to work tomorrow.
A post here the other day reminded me that you can try to fix your own car so if it was going to be expensive I was going to get B to see if he can fix it himself. (He fixes motorbikes after all so he does have some knowledge of engines etc)
Only 2 days before payday and I can't tell you all just how much I am looking forward to it!

    Ouch! Car issues sure can bite. My SO went out to his car this morning to find that the belt for his power steering had broken. $95 later it was fixed ... $52 of that for ten minutes of labor.

    They sure know how to charge! But I guess at least it's a one-off thing & not too too expensive
