Wanna buy a car?

While at home this weekend, my car started making a funny, "clanking" sound (that is, of course, the technical term). Well, I made it home and decided to take it to a mechanic today because it felt like it was in the brakes. I started at Midas - I'd had good luck there. They seem to do good work and their prices have been reasonable in the past. Little did I know they'd come back with an estimate of $1,200! They obviously added everything to the work order that they could think of but it still floored me. By the time I got them down to what I needed done, it was still almost$500.

As you may or may not know, I'm very, very, very stingy when it comes to money. I don't mind spending it on something I need or really want. However, if I feel like I'm getting screwed, they usually feel my wrath (however, when it comes to haggling on prices, I'm your guy!). By the time all was said and done, I determined it best to take my business elsewhere. All I needed were new rear pads and rotors, which we probably could of changed at home for $100 in parts. However, I had to call about a dozen places before I finally found a place that did it for $300. Oh, happy day! I love unexpected expenses!!

Anyways, for anyone interested in a stunning GMC Jimmy, I'd be happy to cut you a deal.
