Nine Mechanics & 11 Tows Later: An American Car Repair Horror Story

Abstract

You would think a simple oil leak is easy to repair? To some people with their cars it is, just a matter of taking it to a mechanic and it is done. Well, what if someone told you it took nine months. Yes, nine months to repair their and nine mechanics. This is a not fiction. Imagine a person in their 70's having to shop and live nine months by using the bus and doing this while having a back condition as nine mechanics said they had fixed the car.

A different definition of fixed. The car would have to have the battery jumped to start and when attempting to drive the car one, the engine would kill at a stop sign or stop light; the last block before home, a tow truck would need to take the car back to "fix it again."
