Fix it or sell it? - Crash it!

When you've been in as many accidents as I have you start to know a thing or two about auto repair.  How many accidents have I been in?  The correct answer is probably; more than you.  I think it's 18.  I've been a passenger to 18 car accidents.  Two of which rolled.  One of which rolled in the air.  It was awesome.  The guy driving was doing about 100 while I was sleeping.  It was cool...

The thing about most auto repair shops is people are always worried that they're being scammed.  Probably because of one 20/20 episode in the 80s about a Meineke shop in Minneapolis or something.  The other thing about auto repair is that cars to most people are like a black box.  We don't know how they work.  We think the wheels spin because we put the gasoline inside that hole on the side of the car, but that isn't really the whole picture, but as long as we don't know anything about cars, how are we going to know if what we needed to get done got done?  I don't know.  Auto repair is tricky.  It's just the reality of it.  Find someone you trust and stick with them forever, or, like I always say; Just buy a new car.
