I’ve noticed that my check engine light has been on for the past few weeks and I guess I really need to get it checked out in case it is something serious. God I hope not. It drives me crazy when that light comes on, I don’t always have time to take my Ford R-150 to an auto shop to see what is going on. Although most shops are not as busy as they would like to be, due to the economy, so the waiting time isn’t as bad as it used to be, but I still hate taking the time out of my busy schedule to tend to things such as this. It is never a quick fix and even with an appointment you still can end up waiting for way too long.
I’ve a friend who just started working at a nice local auto repair shop that tells me that busy has really slowed down and they are looking for business big time and is urging me to bring the truck to them this Saturday. Since my friend is working there I feel confident that I will not be ripped off and will be taken seriously about the light issue and my financial situation at this point.
