Default Car Repairs and System Checks

Not to long ago my sweetie had to take his in to have the oil changed and while he had it in there they also informed him that it was time to have his air conditioning system flushed and something else needed to be done.

Anyway the estimate that they gave him to have these couple of things done to his car was more than $700.00!!!

It is seriously amazing how much some simple things for a car can cost. I don't think he is going to do this now, because with winter here he won't be using the air much in there, but come summer time I know he will. I am hoping we can find a garage that can do the same work that is needed for a lower price. I think that $700.00 is just to much to change out some fluids and flush the air.

When spring comes I am going to shop around for him and see if I can get the work done for less. I am sure that there is a place that will do great work and save him some money, at least I hope so.
