Car Repaired

July 28th, 2009 at 04:48 pm

In my last post my cars warning lights were on and I had to take it in to fix whatever the problem was. I had hoped it was a free or low cost fix because the last time something similar happened it was just caused by a loose gas cap.

Well it turned out to be the alternater. The repair cost seems ridiculous but at least its fixed. The repair along with an oil change was $380. Ouch.
Good news is my little car is running good and hopefully will last me at least another 8 years.

    car repairs are always shocking, how expensive they are. luckily in the two years i have had my car, i have only needed to get the rotors done (just over $300 for that and a service), and it has done over 300 000kms. fingers crossed it lasts me another couple of years with minimal cost, and then we plan on getting a newer family car.

    Thanks Whitestripe and Scfr for the comments. I can't complain about my car too much. Its a Kia Rio going on 9 years old and has really only had a few problems with it that were more of maintenence type issues. I just hope with its age that it can keep going strong for a long time yet.
