subject: Transmission Repair Is Not For Amateurs [print this page] Jenna had heard many horror stories about some of the local transmission repair shops.
"They are only in it for the money," said one person.
"They completely messed up my car," said another.
It seemed as if all of these conversations came back to her at one time, the very moment she began having transmission repair issues. Because of all of the things she had been told, she built up distrust for all of the automotive shops in her area. This wasn't a big deal as long as her car wasn't given her any problems. However, she was now faced with a tough dilemma. If she didn't trust any of the professionals, how in the world was she going to get her vehicle fixed?
"Oh, I know this guy who does transmission repair work from his backyard," said her friend Lucy.
"Does he do a good job?" asked Jenna.
"I'm not so sure," said Lucy. "I just know that he's a cutie."
Jenna felt a little reluctant at first. However, knowing that the guy was attractive made her lean more in his favor.
"Cool, does he charge a lot?"
"Jenna, you are asking me all of these questions and I don't know the answers offhand," said Lucy. "How about we go over and stop by his place tomorrow?"
So, they did just that. Anyone who saw them get dressed for the occasion would probably think they were both preparing for a nice dinner date. They had on a full face of makeup with some of their best outfits.
"How does my hair look," asked Jenna.
"It looks gorgeous," said Lucy. "What about mine?"
"Yours looks good as well," said Jenna.
With that, they headed off to go meet up with the attractive mechanic.
When they arrived at his place, Jenna was a little unimpressed with his so-called working station. However, all of her reservations subsided when she saw him.
"May I help you ladies," he asked.
"Yea, yes, my name is Jenna and I need some transmission work done," she said. "My friend Lucy here said you do a good job."
The man looked at both of them and smiled, realizing he was about to make some easy money.
"Well, you have come to the right place," he said. "Let me take a look at your vehicle."
After assessing the issue, the man gave them a price. It was half the price of what it would have cost at a professional place.
Nearly a week went by and the man was finally finished. So, they went back over to pick the car up. On the way home, Jenna was so excited. She had finally found a cute, cheap mechanic. As she turned the corner onto her street, her car suddenly stopped. She put her head down in shame as she realized she had been duped.
