You've heard that my car has been having issues. About a month ago I discovered that my car HATES hills and makes this terrible grinding noise every time I go up one, and then the grinding noise decided to just stick around all the time. SO embarassing and so annoying. I absolutely hate car problems!! So I took it to Les Scwab thinking it had something to do with the wheel bearings or axel which it didn't but they got my dad and I to replace the brake calipers instead. Yah, we're suckers. The problem still didn't go away and after searching a million forums and blogs I still couldn't figure out where this noise could be coming from, I finally had to take it to a mechanic that I was unsure about since I'm new to the area and they told me that I needed a new engine bracket but wouldn't tell me the cost until I have them order the part. Okay. So luckily my dad knew how to fix it instead. Kind of. It was good for 3 days and now it's making the noise again.
Cars are SO much hassle! I have been wishing there was an easier way to diagnose my problem, find a mechanic, and get an estimate. With a baby on the way I don't have the time, energy, or funds to be screwed over and taken advantage of.
Well now there's a way!
