Got hit on the driver's side by another car while parked. Didn't want to use insurance but got a quote for $4000 |

Tbf it needed to, regardless of inflation. A good mechanic takes longer to develop than a competent physician, even at the same IQ level. |

Big pain in the ass to get it repaired timely. A huge number of shops aren't open weekends at all. Some that usually are open Saturdays were closed today because it's Labor Day weekend.
Killing time at a auto repair chain rn. They didn't have a bona fide appointment available so I'm waiting for them to squeeze me in. Could be hours. |
