It's great you have a decent mechanic... trying out people you don't have a recommendation for is always so risky. *hugs*

I have this problem with commenting on posts. The ones that are most important and interesting to me are the ones that I'm less likely to respond to because I feel like they deserve time and thought so I'm not just saying 'me too,' and then I never manage to do it. I read all your posts. Not that that helps your perception.

It sounds like you have a fantastic mechanic; that's a really wonderful thing. I miss living near my friend Juan who is a professional mechanic and often did the work on my vehicles for me. I no longer own a car and am happy about that, but when Danae's car needs work we have to hope the person we bring it to is being honest. I love riding a bike because I can fix it myself, and when I can't it's like a tenth the cost. I brought it in for an overhaul, and there were a few extra things to do on it and the tech warned me that it would be around $200 in total, as though I'd be upset about it. I just said that I couldn't even get my brakes done on a car for less than that, and it was fine!
