I went to this cute little hole-in-the-wall automotive place three times. The first 2 times were great - I just needed a few regular maintenance things done on my car. The third time I was about ready to drive from Seattle back home to Omaha, Nebraska after my first year of college. So I figured my car should go in for an oil change before the long trip. About a half an hour after I drop my car off for the oil change, I got a call from the mechanic. He said my car needed a little "TLC" and then started listing off all of these car parts that needed to be completely replaced or repaired. I was shocked! My car had been driving fine for the past 4 months, a little bouncy yes because I have been needing new struts but not so bad that I would be expecting to pay for such pricey repairs. When he finished, he added it all up to about $2,600. That was insane. My car is not even worth that much, and how in the world could all these problems be occurring within a few months of my last oil change
