purleweSue's car went in for a new clutch yesterday, and came out.. without a new clutch. Our mechanic (Snyderman's on 2nd and vine) is a really good guy. Sue is pretty picky about her mechanic for the Miata and so she always asks them some trick question her father cooked up to see if they would replace things that are not brokedn/cause unnecessary repairs. Mr. Snyderman passed that test 3 yrs ago with flying colors.. and Sue has always gone to him with the stuff than needs fixing.
So lately she has smelled something burning when she turns on the car. Not everytime. Just sometimes. So she tells me "we need a new clutch" and she saves up the dough. I drop the car off yesterday and Hugh calls me to say "what did you say was wrong with this car? I ain't finding anything wrong." Cue in Sue who is driving the rental home from work. They talk and decide that no.. it doesn't need a new clutch. I go pick it up after work. I offer to pay him for his time. He says "it was a test drive day." What a nice guy.
Got some spinning and knitting done. Watched that new studio 60 show. Hit the sack when Sue got home from the granparents.

Date: 2006-09-26 07:17 pm (UTC)the one she asked him was about her brakes. She asked if he cuts the rotors when they replace brakes. alot of places cut the rotors to save money.. but cutting them is bad b'c it can be a long term bad thing (wear and tear on them, they can warp etc).
