It's a bit late, but Jan 8 marked the 1 year anniversary of my mechanic having my car. Yes, there are lots of reasons why he still has my car, and no, they are not good enough. This has been an ongoing saga and I am not a happy Megan. I just want my car back and never see him again! He can't seem to get it fixed (not because he can't, because he never works on it) and I can't take it somewhere else because it's in an untowable state. It's beyond a joke. It'd be funny if it wasn't so anger inducing. I'm sure it'll be hilarious in a few years time. It kind of is funny now because it's so ridiculous! On the bright side I am driving a new Toyota Yaris that he's paying for. Rental car. I can't even get in touch with him now. Wonder if he'll just do a runner...
However, as has been said, this just seems to dig him into a deeper hole and increase the chance of him doing something unpredictable.
What could his reasoning possibly be?
Not much is wrong with my car. My temp gage wasn't working and the car overheated so a few of the bearings overheated and warped. It's just that he's not doing any work on my car, not that there is much wrong with it. Grrrr!
Someone hit my car and caused about $6000 damage in November. I had a rental car for 5 weeks and had to pay about $800. Luckily, the damage to the car was paid for. If we do the math (and the rental fee was approximately the same as mine), he would have paid over $8000 so far. Yikes. Yeah, something smells fishy.
