I'm so annoyed....
So, last week, I took my car in to get my right turning indicator fixed and my fuel pump something or another fixed. They were both under the warranty, so everything was free. Well, they told me that my transmission fluid is brown and that my breaks are almost metal to metal. They told me that my brakes were top priority, that my transmission fluid was #2, and then something or another was the 3rd thing on my list. So, since my dad has always done my breaks, I thought I would have him fix them to save me the $250 it would cost to do at the dealership. My actual brake pads only cost $38 with a lifetime warranty. Yet, because Mazda thinks they are the coolest thing under the sun, they can't use the same tool dies that all other cars use to put the calipers on, and that costs $120. Even better, it takes 5-10 business days to get in. So, yesterday, I had my car towed to the dealership so I wouldn't have to wait 2 weeks to use my car again. I got a call today, and they just told me that "whoever was trying to do my brakes" ended out damaging the left rear caliper and both routers. They are actually too thin to even be resurfaced. Since those 3 parts need to be replaced completely, it's now going to cost $926. My dad agreed to split the cost with me, but it's still going to cost me an extra $220 on top of the $250 for his mistake. I know I probably just sound like an annoying, pouty, whiny daughter, but come on - this is a lot of money - especially since I still have to put out another $400 before my move to fix the other crap. I hate cars.
