My Car Got Repaired

The symptom was the car dies when it is idle. Check engine light is on. But you can restart it without problems. After work, hubby was able to bring it to autozone for the free car report diagnosis and it gave him various codes. Autozone has no service dept so he was asked to go to pep boys. But pep boys does not want to give an estimate without running the report again for $89.99 but the guy said, for a tune-up probably around $300. I called firestone, they said around $500-$600 for a complete tune-up. Hubby left and went to his friend who has a car repair shop. He did another diagnostic test and came up with the same results.

Hubby left the car Friday night and we pick it up yesterday. Total damage was $330 including taxes for ignition coil replacement and flush transmission service. Now the car is running great again. With 97,000 miles I am not surprise about these repairs anymore. Hope it will go for another 97,000 miles.

I'm happy for you that your car is back in good shape. I'm sad though that you have to spent $330. Anyway, spending for maintenance is normal. We just can't avoid it.
