Susan called me last night all in a panic. She had decided to drive her Toyota Corolla to Chicago for a week’s vacation to see her family. As luck would have it (or should I say as bad luck would have it?) the water pump broke and she didn’t know where to go to get her car fixed. So while she was on the phone I went online to the repairpal.com website and typed in ”Chicago auto repair.”
Using that website I was able to get Susan an estimate on what it should cost to get her car fixed, and where the repair shops are located near her. I think that’s a great website to use – especially if you are not someone who is extremely savvy when it comes to car repairs. It is good to know in advance how much something should cost so if you end up going someplace that tells you it is going to cost a lot more than that you can know that they are trying to rip you off and just take your business elsewhere.
