*Don't Be Nervous When It Comes to Car Repair*

You might remember that Joe & I bought a new vehicle in January. So, I know that it can be a stressful process to find out accurate information when it comes to the car, truck, van, or SUV of your choice. Luckily there is a website, RepairPal.com, where you can read independent and unbiased repair estimates, user ratings and reviews, and advice you can't get anywhere else.

For example, if you're looking to buy a Chevrolet Silverado, you might gain confidence when seeing the overall score of the vehicle. On the flip side, maybe a Dallas auto repair store that you were considering isn't the best match for you after all.

Or, if you want to learn helpful information such as for a brake job, the encyclopedia portion of their website is very informative.

Us moms have enough going on in our lives that we don't need to get stressed out about vehicle maintenance. RepairPal.com even helps you manage your car repair and maintenance online - safe and for free. Hmmmm, there's no excuse for me to turn "car stuff" over to my husband anymore :-)

In October I mentioned that I took my car to the shop because my locks, windows, trunk, and horn stopped working. Twenty-four hours later they figured out the problem and they were able to order the necessary part. The diagnosis? There was a glitch in the circuit for my left back door that was messing up the rest of my car!

It's hard to have car problems, especially for people like me whose life revolves around my vehicle because it's my only source of transportation. I don't live in an area with taxis or buses or the subway, and with winter approaching in Omaha, it's too cold to walk or ride a bike. Plus, with a son who turns 19 months old this week, I don't have time for car problems! :p

So, it's nice to know there is RepairPal.com You can use it to Find A Shop in your area - for example, if you're looking for Dallas Auto Repair, you'll learn of the top rated auto repair shops and mechanics. Or, get an Estimate for a service or repair on your car. For Car Info such as a Chevrolet Silverado you can see ratings and reviews. You can also manage your Car and maintenance online. . .and there's even an Encyclopedia to look up anything else you need to know - such as, brake job!

As much as I'd like to hope that I'll never have another car problem, I know that's not realistic. But the experience doesn't have to be hard or stressful or time-consuming when so much information can be right at my fingertips on RepairPal.com!
