Recently my sister-in-law took a business trip to Chicago. She hates to fly, and it was only a day’s drive so she decided to take her car. After all the company was going to pay for her time and mileage to drive and then when she got there she wouldn’t have to rely on a rental car or taxi’s. Well wouldn’t you know it that the water pump on her Toyota Corolla decided that was the perfect time to quit on her.
So she called me and asked for some advice on what to do. I went online to the repairpal.com website and found some Chicago auto repair shops that she could take her car to. I also found an estimate for her as to what she could expect to pay for the repairs. I think that this particular website is a valuable tool for anyone who owns a car and has to take it to unfamiliar territory! It gives you a measure of control in a difficult situation that might otherwise make you feel very vulnerable.
