(sort of early in the am for Bob Seger bastardizations, but...)
I take great pride in maintaining my car (my baby!). By maintain, I do not mean that I touch the car. I believe I've mentioned here before my independent, I can do anything you can do attitude - except when it comes to the car. When it comes to the car, I'm a total girly girl. I know nothing. I will bring it to the dealer every single time and pay more money (I'm sure) just to have someone else do the dirty work.
Recently I took my car in for it's big 15,000 mile checkup. I dropped it off with the naivete of a child: it's here for it's checkup! Imagine my surprise and horror when they called and said the "struts are leaking and should be replaced". Oh, I reply - acting as if I know what struts are. Then she tells me that will be $600. Yikes! Then something odd happened. She told me that because my car had such low mileage and I bring it to the dealer, that Honda has agreed to pay for new struts as a "good will repair". The only thing I will have to pay for is a realignment after. Hmmm... why am I am suspicious? Ever heard of a car manufacturer pay for a "good will repair"?
