Minivan Recovered
Jun. 27th, 2015 08:03 amMy mechanic was able to get the Astro back to me yesterday evening, and just barely in time (minutes before they closed at 6 PM) for me to return the rental car then, instead of having to do it this morning. (This saves me some back-and-forth this morning; the rental was actually due back at 9 AM Saturday, but now I don't have to worry about it.)

After dropping the rental car, I walked back to Cory's shop and re-installed the central console that Lisa built to house the radios (and incidentally some cup-holders). As I was finishing up, Cory came back from a test drive of another vehicle on which he was working, and we talked about how the repairs went. He'd like me to bring the van back to him after the San Diego trip because he has some ideas about what may be troubling it that he'd like to try out without the immediate and acute problems with which he's been working. I agreed that I'd give him a call when I get back from San Diego, and asked him how much I owed him for this round of work.
"Don't worry about it," he said.
"You sure?" I asked, and he confirmed it.
Times like this are to be remembered when people ask why I go to so much trouble to bring my vehicle back to this Fremont mechanic if it's possible to do so, even though it's often logistically hasslesome and costs me more overall.
