Paranoia: it’s not all bad
So I took my Subaru Forester in for servicing today. It had just crossed the 100,000 miles mark and I was worried. I thought it might need major brake work. Whenever I used to take it to the dealership, it always needed brake work and — mysteriously! — that work was never covered under the warranty.
But my new independent mechanics are great. I’ve been saving hundreds of dollars since I switched to them AND my Forester is driving better than ever before.
Today’s bill? Less than $60.
I was so happy when I got in the car to drive off. $60! That was way less than I’d expected.
And then I thought, “What if they charged me so little because they rigged my car to blow up when I started the ignition?”
OK, honestly, who thinks such horrible thoughts? Uh, me. And I guess that’s why I’m a writer!
