are there any cars that wont break down every other day?

Where do you go for San Diego auto repair? Repairpal of course :) My cousin is out in San Diego working and his check engine light came on. He called my husband asking if he knew what might be causing it. Uhm hello we are on the coast on the other side of the country?!?! There was no way to know what might be causing the check engine light on his Ford F-150 to be coming on. I took the phone from my husband and told y cousin to go to repair. com and look up the area he was in. I walked him through it step by step including getting in touch with an auto shop from the site. He was quite impressed with the amount of information he could gather before he ever even got in his truck! The first auto shop he called had excellent reviews on repairpal but was too busy to get the truck in to check it out. The mechanic from that first phone call had him check a couple things on his truck to see if they could have been the cause of the check engine light. He had him check his gas cap several times to make sure it was on correctly and tightened down. The second mechanic he called from the user reviews was able to get the truck in and find the problem. My cousin went back to the repairpal site and looked up what the repairs should cost using the estimator and had his truck repaired and returned to him the same day. He did not miss a single day of work and since his truck is his lively hood he was happy to be back on the road!
