My car is a nightmare! The computer does not do computing! My mechanic hates my car! But he fixes the simple things like brake lines,, Mufflers.  But I love my car so I limp along!

I’ve been taking my ‘93 Ford Taurus to a recommended auto repair shot off and on since I got it. Well, I took it in for front end work and got it back, no hassle. Drove it all over, up to 55mph and on the long curvy street home. Finally ended up at our convenience store, made our purchases and tried to leave. The car wouldn’t budge. James was with me and craw under to have a look. The rocker arm that turns the wheels had not been bolted back into place; was kind of floating. After all that driving! The automo shop repaired this mistake for free. I should have sued.......

Yes....The bill was the worst nightmare.

Not a nightmare experience but one of those shady type situations. Light comes on and says "Check Brake System". I take it to the dealer. "Brakes in need of repair...$1,600.00". WHAT? I say, not today thanks and take it to a different repair shop about 3 miles away. "Brakes are perfect". I have both quotes in writing. I don't know what happened during that 3 mile drive but, somehow, the brakes fixed themselves. Guess who has my business now?

Yep, always good to get a second opinion I guess. Before this incident, I had trusted the dealer. :(

....fortunately, no

A close friend has enough auto nightmares for both of us, and 3 more people besides. 

Last year it was discovered by Doxa's CEO Jan Edöcs link that it was an "oil dipped" process instead of PVD that gave the watch its black coloration. This was an important discovery because it explains why some vintage examples are black and others are standard stainless steel. The coating had just worn off over time. Vintage Doxa Army examples link are grail-level watches link for many vintage tool watch enthusiasts.
