Everybody complains about the high cost of auto repairs today, and rightly so. Cars are expensive to maintain and repair, especially when something vital breaks down.

I just brought my car into the shop, I think I need a new engine. Hopefully, most of it is covered by the
warrenty but it still going cost me for misc. things. Cars are vital to have, but costly if they fail.

Here's some advice from someone who paid $2500 a few years ago to pass emissions testing (which is just government gouging). Take your car someplace where they'll read your codes for you in advance to see if you do a quick fix like an oxygen sensor.

And be sure to ALWAYS drive your car for at least 20 to 30 minutes in advance of having your emissions tested. My car has passed every time since I started doing this.  :star:
