Well i bought a Ford Focus 2.0 2001 GHIA car for half year ago. I love it. But car needs care. I made brake pad change, on my own. I found a do-it-yourself car shop, they provided tools, and other stuffs. It was very good, i could change my brake pad by myself. It was cheap.
But time flies and it has another problem. It shakes like washing-machine, and i found out, that motor mounts are bad. I am Computer Engineer, not a car mechanic, so i thought it would be good if i pay a car mechanic.
Well, the parts are ~22.000 HUF (75$) at alkatreszek.hu website.
I thought invoice would end at 50.000 HUF (172$) and it would be good.
But i got a 72.000 HUF (247$) quotation, and i thought this is too much. I mean, 50.000HUF (172$) for repair fee??
Next thins was checking google and youtube how to fix my car. And it is easy. I will buy a Güde ess-350 impact wrench, and it will be easier. I mean, i am computer engineer in IT, i work with information, i need to be fast learner, i can learn how to change motor mount in my car.
In Hungary, car repair service is very weird. They charge you a lot of fee, make awful job, or sometimes they don’t even fix your car, but you have to pay. It is not worth it. These things are easy to fix it.
So i will find a free weekend and i will make it. 🙂
