Hopefully the end of the saga

got my car back, FINALLY, its fixed :lol: a new battery, a new transmission and
$100 later, all it needed was an alternater :lol: it was only working part of the
time. They had tested the alternater several times and it was fine but they
took it for a 40 mile test drive, and when it drained the battery they tested
it again and sure enough it proved bad. They didn't charge me a penny, except
the rental car office charged me $11 for the tax portion of the bill. Guess I
did my share to stimulate the economy.
Knock on wood my car gives me no more problems.

Glad they finally found the problem. Nothing more nerve wracking then driving a car that you have to wonder if it is going to keep running. Raises the blood pressure for sure.

That's great news. Had an alternator ruin 2 new batteries on me - which I ended up not paying for either. You'd think mechanics would kinow better, but seems to be something they get right after a couple times of getting it wrong. Hahaha. So glad your car is back and your portion of the bill was so small. You didn't need any new expenses.
