towed

the Nikonmobile was with the mechanic all day yesterday for basic maintenance....an oil change, a new battery, and a minor repair to the exhaust system...the final bill was $624, worth it ahead of an impending road trip...today though, It would not start!!...alas, it had to be towed back to the mechanic...here we go with Autumn repairs part two, and yet another bill to reckon with

Olympus Stylus TOUGH TG-3
1/500s f/8.0 at 4.5mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Better now than on the road. Nice memento of a bummer day. V

That sucks.

Oh dear, hope you get it all sorted before your trip.

It happens. There was a $150,000 Mercedes in our condo garage that didn't start.

Hopefully just a minor electrical problem easy fix and then back on the road with the Nikonmobile. V

Uh oh! hope the repair wasn't too expensive!

Best to fix at home than far, far away.

Ah, car repair woes..cars are complicated these days and need regular maintenance....
hope the replacement parts and service of your car are not too expensive..V

Oh dear ! Hope Daniel's saying won't apply. Hopefully BCAA absorbed the towing cost !!
Jeff Real15-Sep-2018 01:52
Best of luck with the repairs and your trip.
Happy shooting!
Nirvan Hope15-Sep-2018 00:48
Ouch. Hopefully it's back on the road by now and the mechanic fixed whatever it was for free. How frustrating. Will be good to get away after this!

Sounds like you had a rough day David.
janescottcumming14-Sep-2018 19:04
Oh no, don't you hate it when that happens! Spend all that money and then something else goes wrong. Hopefully it is just some minor repair.
Walter Otto Koenig14-Sep-2018 17:02
Hopefully it's something minor David. The tow truck driver seems happy.

Oh oh. :(

Aïe Aïe Aie ! An old french saying announces "Jamais deux sans trois" ! Hope you will avoid that ! Good luck ! V.

Das Auto needs Das Tow truck
Helen Betts14-Sep-2018 02:01
Oh no! Hard to imagine what they might have done to cause that problem. The guy does look happy to have been called to help you, though.

Having just had a very hefty car repair bill, I sympathize!
Julie Oldfield14-Sep-2018 01:10
That sucks! Car bills are depressing. V
Nick Paoni14-Sep-2018 00:48
Ouch, auto repair bills, especially unexpected ones, are never a welcome development. Except, of course, if you are a tow truck operator. Thus the hint of a smile on that chap.
Jim Coffman14-Sep-2018 00:40
Hope that isn't your car, David.. The wrecker driver seems a happy soul...
Dennis Hoyne14-Sep-2018 00:38
Neat shot! He seems to be enjoying his work, I hope thats isn't your car! V
