What was wrong with my car

This all started with my catalytic converter. I ended up getting that replaced for free, but there were numerous other things fixed.

Here’s what they did:

Something involving my brakes (it says “BRAKES F 8B R 3B TIRES 2/32”)

Replaced the rear wheel cylinders

Replaced both tie rod ends

Replaced the front control arm bushings

Multipoint inspection

PA State Safety Inspection ( I did not have to do emissions, because of where I live )

Replaced the Exhaust Manifold (My converter, but it was covered under warranty)

Fixed the Flex Pipe

The men at the dealer were probably the nicest men I’ve ever dealt with anywhere, and the service manager, Jim Downs, is a friend of my uncle and is probably my hero right now. Despite the price it turned out to be, he still saved me hundreds of dollars in other areas.

They waved me in when I arrived, greeted me by name, had my car all warmed up already, washed, and waiting for me to go.

It cost me 750 bucks. A bad bill to get at Christmas time, but it’s better than paying a car payment AND having to pay for repairs.

It’s all over now. My car works, is quieter than it used to be, and I’m finally home at my computer, waiting for my girlfriend to arrive.
