Nothing invokes fear like the IRS and having to have a car repair.
I have a 2003 Hyundai with only 40K miles on it. I don't really drive it that much but my check engine (orange) light had been on and I thought I needed an oil change etc. Got it but the Jiffy lube dude told me I needed to have my entire headlight replaced due to the connections were missing. Since I never drive at night I didnt bother until now which is about 3 weeks before my tabs are due to be renewed.
Called Planet Hyundai on Sahara and took it in. They told me 500 appx to replace the headlight and I needed some under carriage work that was about 900.00. OR I could trade it in on a newer model and they'd give me 3k on the trade. BS. It's a 10 yr old car with ONLY 40K miles on it. I'll drive it until I'm dead.
Anyway.. a was referred by a friend to CARS. I called - they said sure 300.00 out the door but they needed to order the part. Part came in and told me just stop by takes about 45 minutes.
We went today, left the car and came back to it all being finished. They even replaced some fuses that were low.
It was the EASIEST and most helpful automotive experience I've ever had in Las Vegas.
From the start I dealt with Eddie - and he was a dream. Totally professional & funny.
PLUS and this is a big plus.
They had Fat girl seating in their waiting area. none of those stiff fugly skinny arse seats you find in most waiting rooms. No big comfy couches & chairs. I want to move in there.
Bonus: The boss is like 10 yr old and the guardian is an adorable red bulldog. Total score.
and what a relief that I never have to fear the mechanics again!
