The Truck Headache.

Defuniak Springs, Florida
January 28, 2026 8:45pm CST
The thing that took up the most time today was the dealership to deal with the truck. We weren't there to actually get the truck fixed. We were there so they could diagnose it. We got there at 815 this morning and left at 1230. It was long and they didn't fix anything. They just told us that all the tests they did today didn't tell them anything and they needed more money and more time to get deeper into the engine to see what was really wrong. We spent $240 today for the diagnostic testing. We get to spend another $240 next week. As @AmbiePam said earlier, it's time to sell my kidney.

I feel like mechanics rip people off as much as lawyers do.

I hate getting the car fixed, it's always such a production and so, so much money. I'm sure sorry.

It's always a pain in the butt for sure.

Ah yes, the classic ‘pay us to learn nothing’ dealership experience.

Ugh. I'm sure this is just what you don't need. I hope they find out what's wrong next time.
