Tibor had my car ready the same afternoon I sent the car in on Tuesday. He said he cleaned the gears and fixed a wire which apparently was the culprit of the transmission incident. But Tibor said the gears are all pretty worn out that the tranny might go within a year (maybe sooner).<\/p>\n
So the car runs like a champ again. And Tibor didn’t charge an arm and a leg for it. He even said if we decide to get the tranny replaced (an eventuality), he’ll give me a break on this job because he said this job was almost like a pre-requisite to diagnose any kind of transmission problem. And it doesn’t make sense for him to charge me twice for it. You can’t find an honest mechanic like Tibor anymore!<\/p>\n
But we think we’ll have to replace the car with something a little more reliable soon. After our investment in fixing the engine<\/a>, any additional pay outs for major fixes would make the car cost more than its worth. Plus now we have a baby, it makes sense that we get a car that we don’t have to worry about. So maybe we’ll do what Murdza<\/a> did and get a certified pre-owned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tibor had my car ready the same afternoon I sent the car in on Tuesday.
