*Car Care Confidence*

In my last post I mentioned that my husband & I are going to need to buy a bigger car before we have another child. We'll probably keep mine in addition - but not Joe's. Right now his windows don't roll up and down, there is no adjusting the volume on the radio, he doesn't have one of his side mirrors, and many weird lights go on and off signaling problems that our repair shop says isn't accurate/don't exist. :p

We really like the auto shop where we take our cars, but it took awhile for us to find a place that we trust. Have you heard of RepairPal.com? It's easy, accurate, and free! You can see reviews and ratings of shops all over the US, locations from closest to farthest to you (with the appropriate addresses and phone numbers), and even receive estimates. Not only does the site help you to find the best option for an oil change or tune up, but also complete pages on shops like Seattle Auto Repair and car info such as the Acura TL. There's even an Encyclopedia with helpful hints and tips.

It may sound like we have a clunker but thanks to our great auto repair shop, Joe's car doesn't stand out as one, and has never failed us or let us down in a time of need. Our shop stays on top of things for us so that we've been able to hold out until the last possible second for purchasing a nice SUV or van. With our economy, it has been nice not to have to worry about a big car payment or spending too much on repair services. RepairPal.com takes the mystery out of auto repair!
