Cheap Fix

June 11th, 2010 at 03:41 pm

The last few months my car has died on me twice - both times where I'd left the lights on for a few minutes after turning off the engine. Then this past week it had been starting more and more sluggishly. I *really* thought it was the starter or maybe the ignition.

In fact, I had an appointment lined up for tomorrow with a shop I've used before and a family friend to go with me "to talk shop" with the mechanic. My dad however convinced me that I should get the battery checked just to be 100% sure.

I'm glad I did! I took it to Firestone where I'd gotten the battery last summer (remember all my car woes of last summer???) and an hour! later I found out that it *was* a bad battery! They replaced it for $18, and another 40 minutes later! I was out of there.

So ... here's hoping that there is not anything more to it!
