A simple fix

The A/C in the car was having problems. I took it in today, for a simple fix. NOT!! A $100 problem became a $840 problem. The radiator fan was not working, found out that the motor was broken. Thanks to the engineers at Chrysler, we have to buy a whole new fan assembly part for $452. That's right, the part is more than the bumper that was replaced last June. The part is coming from back east and the car won't be fixed until Tuesday. Fun times at the Vocana house hold. I don't think I need a car this week. Just have to take Jaxon to Day Camp, have Activity Girls, and get ready to go camping. We're just lucky the car didn't blow up on our way to Oregon or Utah this summer.

Your story sounds very similar. We took our car to get a $25 oil change and we ended up needing new front brakes and other stuff done. It turned into over $400. Not a fun way to spend lots of money.
