Really? So Soon?

Eric says my car is ready to be picked up.



I'll give you a moment to let the shock wear off.



He says that they flushed the transmission to get rid of all that water, and they installed a separate cooler for the transmission lines to run through so that they run independent of the radiator. The cooler costs $85, and I'm not sure whether he said they were charging me for that or not, but they're not charging me for the labor.

Frankly, it sounds like a whole lot of C.Y.A. to me. "Oops, we messed up something... let's make up a problem and then fix it for free." We're going to take the car to AAMCO or someplace similar and have them do the $20 diagnostic on the transmission, just to see if there's any other problems I should be aware of. But at least it sounds like I'll be able to drive the car there under its own power.

**fingers crossed** I'm going to pick up my baby!
