Mr. Thrifty’s Guide to Getting Your Car Repaired Without Getting Taken for a Ride

Ever have your car break down in the middle of traffic? Ever feel like your mechanic was laughing behind your back as you paid a $500 car repair bill? Ever get the guilty feeling that you should be doing something about that clunking noise under the hood? Mr. Thrifty used to not worry too much about his car until it suddenly stopped cold in the middle of a busy intersection while on a date. Since Mr. Thrifty is not terribly mechanically inclined, he couldn’t figure out what was wrong and, even worse, his date did not buy the “my car broke” excuse. No good night kiss for Mr. Thrifty!

Mr. Thrifty has spoken to a number of friends and family, and most feel totally inept when it comes to car repair. In reality, taking care of your car doesn’t require a Ph.D. in rocket science or tens of thousands of dollars. If you follow Mr. Thrifty’s Guide to Car Repair and Mainenance, you will be rolling down the road for as few bucks as possible.
