November 21, 2011

With at least sixteen hours of driving ahead of us, I figured it might be good to get my oil changed and have Brutus checked out.  Further, my "Check Brake" light was still pinging on every few miles.  I hadn't the chance to have it re-rechecked since my last visit with Midas, so I rolled the two visits into one.  My estimated hour wait, however, turned into somewhere between five and six hours, as I was told they hadn't done their job the first time around and now were waiting on parts delivery from their storage.  Although the mechanic had told me Midas would cover the cost of a replacement sensor the last time I popped in on the shop, he attempted to charge me for the replacement sensor this time around.  Not one for shenanigans of this sort, I explained to him what he had promised me a few weeks earlier.  With some finagling, he agreed to not charge for labor and take a percentage off the cost of the sensor.  I still think I shouldn't have been charged at all, but at least I won't be driving to Louisiana with the incessant pinging!
