October 24, 2011


You know that part of the day when a warning light on your dash signals and you know your wallet is about to spontaneously combust?  I love those moments; the fine folks at Midas also love those moments.  After asking the long list of questions I believe ensures I'm not being taken advantage of, I cut the estimated cost of repairs by sixty percent, which means my wallet is only smoldering.  Thankfully, the repairs are guaranteed by a lifetime warranty, so this was a one-time payment.  However, I was mostly looking forward to Brutus no longer 'pinging' me to check my brake pads.  Every few minutes for the past week, I've heard a 'ping!' with a message directing me to take my truck to a mechanic.  Having finally done so, I was perturbed to hear the same 'ping!' with the same message after driving away from Midas this morning.  After a short visit with them again late this afternoon, I've been told to call if the problem persists as it must be due to a faulty sensor.  Wonderful.
