This stupid garage..I dropped it off early this morning..and the receptionist just told me they haven't pulled into the garage yet! Say what? That is what these small town garages are like. They have no respect for your time. I was thinking beforeI should take it to the city where I could get it fixed in a day..However, I was kind of hesitant to drive it that far. God knows when they are going to get ifinished with it, they will have to order the sensor and if there is a problem getting out the old one..or something it might take awhile. Damn it! I had an appointment it isn't like it was towed in there or something. I was just cooped up in here for awhile last week and part of the weekend due to the heat..and now I am again!

Oh god not good at all
It's the same where we are.
Our one horse town motor car repair people just please themselves and then charge the earth for fun.
Nothing worse than being cooped up

I hate it. Even if I don't go anywhere, I just like knowing I can. Today I would have gone somewhere if I had the car though. I hope tomorrow I can.

@snowy22315 that's why I keep at least two motorbikes

The main thing at the moment is it needs an oxygen sensor replaced. It needs some other things, but I will get them done at a later date.

I know, and I am kind of stuck with them because they are the only ones that will give me a ride because they are close.

@LadyDuck I also think they are a bit greedy

@snowy22315 - It's convenient because they are close, but so annoying.

Thanks, I will get over my mad if I have it by lunchtime tomorrow..but feel pessimistic about it honestly. Maybe I will visualize it being done then, and hope that helps!

Ugh, that sounds so frustrating! You’d think having an appointment would mean they’d actually get started on your car in a reasonable time. Small-town garages can be so hit-or-miss with that stuff. It makes sense not wanting to risk the drive to the city, but still, waiting around is the worst, especially after already being stuck inside from the heat. Fingers crossed they don’t run into any extra issues and can wrap it up sooner rather than later!

Sometimes they do that if it is a woman bringing things in, as well. I hate it. I hope you can reschedule your appointment.

OH...what I was referring to was that I had an appointment for the car. It was just towed in there out of the blue, hence they should have gotten right to it. If they can't get their work done in a timely manner they should hire somebody else.

I know..it is zero on the fun meter. This especially goes if there is something I want to do with it

No, and I really don't care for that. Alot of them in this area seem to have that attitude it doesn't matter when you get your vehicle back as long as it is fixed. There were a couple I used to go to that would half fix it and were incredibly sloppy and slow too.
