I drive Toyota Prius.
I really love my car and I seriously think it was worth to pay some extra money to get a hybrid car
.
I love driving and outdoors. I (more like Matt) drive for some trip to visit far places.
So hybrid was the great choice for me.
And first of all, it is Toyota, the top auto brand in the world
(at least for my family..... LOL)
But Toyota dealers are sometimes not the nicest thing to deal with......
I originally paid more than MSRP for my car.... Oh well, that is not too bad.... it is just bad since I do not read the auto manual for Prius AT ALL and a lot of good extra things my car has mean nothing to me.....
I hate to read manual since I will not understand more than half of the contents.... It is not about English which is the problem, it is about Manaualish.
I just can not understand what I am readin......
Do not take me wrong, I love reading..... Ask Matt.... I read novels, cooking books, baking books etc. when I have time..... The words on those books can be easily understood and absorved into my brain-
But Manualish is different......
So I paied more for nothing...... I have way too many options that I did not need. Well, actually I did not pay that much extra for my car..... I just do not know how many options included into my car when I bought it...... hehehe
Well, overall, I love my Prius.
Today, I took my car to the service.
They told me that it would take 2 hrs, so I decded to go to buy some fabrics to sew......... I was thinking to start sewing again, but I have not had a chance yet.
I am not that much of outdoor girls considering that I love reading, cooking, baking, sewing, paper crafting...... etc. etc. I usually keep myself fairly busy, ant I love that way for my life.
So I was at the store choosing fabrics, then I got phone call from Toyota.
"Your service is done, but we found nail puncuture on your left rear tire."
I was like..... Oops!! Again
It happens pretty often with my car....
"Tread of your 4 tires have worn off on them, so I recommend you to change all 4 tires. It will cost $500+. The nail puncture is on the side of your tire, so we can not patch the the tire......"
I went like...... "SUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
"
I have not worn those 4 tires for that long yet. I am not that careless about cars
So I said "No thank you" for his offer...... Of course, what did he think I would say......
I took my car to the tire repair shop and fixed it for free.
OF COURSE!! It was just a patch that my car neede
Toyota dealer sucks (especially the F
MONT Toyota
)
They just want us to pay more for them
Well, actually there was one more incident at the tire repair shop.
The customer service person came to my car with me to check my car information + nail puncture.
I went to the tire, pointed it and told him that I could not find any nail puncture on the left rear tire.
Then he said.......
"Um.......
I think that is the RIGHT rear tire, Ma'am"
I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo embarrassed
So today's take-home messages are.....
Never Trust Auto Dealers
Never Trust Nahako for Directions (Especially Left and Right)
