I was having issues with places I called servicing this area, but one that AI suggested goes all over Virginia. I guess they probably have techs all over that work with them, or they put the ones they have on a sort of route. I don't know..but if this works, and it should it will probably save me a few hundred dollars, plus having to drive to a garage and sit their all day or leave it overnight. The thing is if you go to a garage they always want to do their own diagnostics which is expensive instead of using the ones that places like Auto Zone and Advanced Auto have. However, this is a pretty simple deal, and I bought the part so no need for that. That's the other thing in a garage, they usually upsell parts so getting one on my own is smart and they told me this one would fit, as their is a pic on the print out of the one I need. So, lets hope all goes according to plan, if it doesn't work for some odd reason I can always make a garage appointment. Usually, the people who come out for these things are pretty competent though.

It really needs a tune up, but one thing at a time.

@LadyDuck I need to schedule an oil change soon too. So since you sold your husband's car ,I guess you have decided not to get a driver's license?

@snowy22315 - I agree, one thing at a time, there are always so many expenses to cover.

Wow, that's cool. I would think a service that comes to you would be more expensive, but than again, they don't have overhead like a garage. I buy the parts when I can, even when the dealership is installing them. I'm glad they are willing to do so (they want my business).

They don't do all the diagnostics a garage would probably insist on doing therby inflating the bill plus there is generally an upcharge on parts.

Absolutely, and if all is good, I will use them as often as I can.
