    Humor me…shouldn’t the mechanic shop you just paid over $1,000 to have made sure your tires were properly filled?

    • @rrrrrrtt1
      @rrrrrrtt1 Місяць тому +1

      Unfortunately, you have to CYOA. Check your air as a practice especially since that's the thing that touches the ground. Not an excuse for the mechanic, but if you're traveling you need to do in addition to what mechanics do for you.

    • @Laminar02

    • @anitasimmons3599
      @anitasimmons3599 Місяць тому

      Always do a fluid check, check the air in your tires including the spare and a complete walk around before any out of town trip. Even if you have had recent service done to your vehicle. It is just a good policy.

  • @Tools4Us

    Exciting times ahead, Christine! There's something magical about the anticipation of a road trip and the thrill of exploring new destinations.
    As you prepare for your adventure, my advice would be to pack light, but pack smart. Bring along essentials like snacks, water, a first aid kit, and of course, a sense of curiosity and wonder. Remember to embrace spontaneity and be open to unexpected detours - sometimes the best experiences are found off the beaten path. Safe travels, and may your journey be filled with unforgettable moments and scenic views! 🚗✨

I'm from Chicago but Wisconsin and Iowa are beautiful, especially if you're by the Mississipi River or the Iowa River. I know I am subjective about this, but I went to the University of Iowa and Iowa City is a beautiful small college town if you're nearby.

    Just do the work yourself.... all that was supposedly needed is pretty easy work, plus you could have contents as well for your channel. These shady slimy mechanics prey on folks who don't take the time to learn and do easy simple maintenance and repair work. Did you make sure they replaced that exhaust manifold with a NEW one? They probably just put a used one on. Sorry, I just hate people taking advantage of others..... but hey, if you're satisfied with the work and how much they charged you then it's all good.
