My car went through some major hurdles today. I finally brought it to my old mechanic yesterday morning. The main reason for my visit was that there was this noise that it kept making even though the bodyshop I went to not long ago told me they already fixed it. And it was time for its oil change anyways. Once Daming Auto Repair's Master Huang looked at the engine he knew what caused the noise immediately. The engine mounts had to go. He said the brake pads were bad too. Also the battery looked pretty crumbly.
"Fine, replace them all," I decided.
At first I thought I was going to have to come back when Master Huang found out that he couldn't get the parts. Nope. He didn't want me to drive my somewhat broken car anymore. So I ended up renting a car, coming back home, went to Dave's for dinner, returning the rental this morning, and waiting a couple of hours 'til I had my car back. The cost was a bit more than I was expecting, but with car repairs that's usually the case. Fortunately I do trust Huang and his work, and I also feel the car is indeed riding more comfortably. I just hope today is not going to turn into the beginning of many more problems to come, at least not for a while! I really don't like dealing with and paying for pricey car repairs!
