[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 26811, member: 53"] Must have been a miracle car that healed itself..... Love this story. Its great when there are people you know and trust to weed out the "Shonky Mechanics".... I had a blow out on a toll road and they had to tow my car since they couldn't get the spare out from underneath the car. I then had to buy a new tire since they claimed the spare couldn't be gotten to. Of course they had me since I was four hours from home, a woman, by myself and eager to just get on my way. They didn't have the same exact tire, but had a similar one and ended up probably paying fifty bucks over what I would have at my home tire place....but what could I do???? Then the towing bill, he had to charge not only the towing bill, but an hourly charge for trying to get the spare tire out....he didn't put the correct end of the lowering rod in, so said the connection was broken.... Then there is always the thrill of getting into the tow truck and hoping that the guy will actually take you to the tire store....eeewwwww! [/QUOTE]
