| - My little Honda Civic's body is changing. It wants to meet other Civics and maybe some Corollas. Its voice is starting to sound different.
My car has hit puberty!
So who else to bring it to for checkups than the doctors at Japanese Car Service? Like any growing boy, we've had to visit these folks more than a few times since this summer, and I've always had fantastic service. If the maintenance doesn't take too long, I usually post up in their spacious waiting area (I know my car feels awkward at this age if I'm around while he's naked anyway), where CNN keeps me an informed citizen while ample issues of Us Weekly brings me up to speed on the more important news.
I don't know the first thing about cars, but every time I leave a little more educated than when I first went in - the guys will usually show me the parts they removed/replaced and answer any and all questions I have, which is usually a lot - I mean, I want to know what the heck I'm paying for.
Speaking of price, I usually do get a case of sticker shock whenever I get rung up for a service beyond an oil change, but I know I'm not going to have to come back to troubleshoot the same problem again, so ultimately, the price tag is more like an investment. Plus, before I start a service, they'll give me a worst case scenario of how much I'd be paying for max, but the minimum cost if junior checks out just fine. How do you expect to have your vehicle running like Dolce & Gabbana if you're only willing to pay for H&M?
