After thee solid weeks had a slow week last week(5/1-5/7).But here is the kicker,Friday the 7th went to midas in flint off of miller had the oil changed and they came to me and said the pitman arm,right wheel bearing,and the right lower ball joint was all bad and wanted to change it,I declined the repairs cause I have my own guy do my repairs in cbus at a very good price so I went out of service in fear of a major break down and did not want that to happen with a load,So any ways got home put the van in the garage and double checked everything and found that nothing was wrong with said parts,I am so glad I do know something about cars.Said repairs would have been very expensive at Midas.
Note to self do not go to midas ever again.
So I am now setting at home waiting on the phone to ring so I can earn some cash(daughter graduates next friday)...

Not really surprising..if Midas works the way they do in Canada here..the techs are paid a commission on what they sell....
General rule is Midas is a no no even on their exhaust systems...generally over priced....
