One of the biggest pains in my butt is my car. I love my little car... it was given to me by my grandparents, and is in better shape than any other car I've owned... but its old, and I'm not very good at keeping up it's maintenance. Just the other day, I was talking to my mom on the phone, and she suggested that my car might need a new battery pretty soon. Ugh... if its not one thing, its another! Every time I feel like I have some money saved up, my car seems to need something!
I found a website that makes the car repairs issue a lot easier! Its called Repairpal.com, and you can find all the information you want about car repairs, including price estimates of repairs to specific makes and models of cars, reviews of local car repair businesses, and much more.
For instance, imagine you live in San Francisco, and you find out that your Honda Accord needs a new timing belt. First of all,if you'd like, you can read all about what atiming beltis, what it does, why it might need to be repaired, etc. You can also read questions and answers about timing belt problems that other people have submitted, or submit your own questions! Then, you can type in the make, model and year of your car, find out how much you might expect a newtiming belt to cost, and search for a San Francisco auto repair shop that can do the work for you. The star ratings and customer reviews will help you find a shop that you can trust with your car!
I'm definitely going to use this site whenever I have any problems with my car... and believe me, I have bad luck with cars! I hope this site comes in handy for you, too!
You know what, dear? Even if you love your car, if it keeps breaking down on you and you end up spending a lot of bucks for repairs, it's time to let it go. I know it's like losing a loved one. But the money you spend on repairs can buy you a decent car, either used or brand new. Maybe you just need a car that is easy to maintain and suits your lifestyle. Good luck in getting your new car!
