We are going on our weekend trip tomorrow morning, to the class reunion and we are going to take his car to the city today. I have a couple of errands. Actually, what I had hoped to do was drop it off at the local garage for him to work on it while we were gone, but the guy called me this morning..he said he had to go out of town for an emergency and isn't sure when he is going to be back..
. Now, of course we also had the lawn guy with an emergency. That is super disappointing with the car. I had hoped to get that resolved while I was gone. Another garage here two of the mechanics are off or something and the main guy is overloaded. There is a place I could take it, but they always take a long time to work on vehicles. If I took it somewhere in the city..it would be expensive. It is driveable, I guess I will just try to wait until the place I wanted to take it to is open again, but then of course he will probably say he is backed up or something.

We dropped it off in the city. Friend just wanted to have it fixed ASAP. He will pay for it unless it is astronomical, then we will just have part of it done, or take it elsewhere.

That is frustrating.. seems like all the timing lined up against you. Hopefully the garage you prefer will be available soon so you can get it taken care of without extra hassle or expense.

It's in the city, but we don't even have an estimate.

Hope you have a great time at the reunion.
Frustrating that you can't get the car done while you're away.

Have a safe trip. I hope the car gets fixed ASAP and for a decent price.
