I don’t know junk about car repair so whenever my car acts up or breaks down,I simply speed dial my trusted mechanic and he calmly walks me through whatever the problem is before fixing it.I drive a Kia Sephia but lately I’ve been thinking about getting a honda accord. I’m a bit hesitant to get another car since my kia is fully paid off and frankly the idea of monthly payments doesn’t appeal to me.
I asked a buddy of mine if honda accords are good cars and he assured me they are but naturally I’m worried about things like timing belt replacement and engine replacement.See,the last car I owned needed both of those and the seller neglected to mention it to me.I sank alot of money into that car and then ended up selling it to a junk yard.So yes,I’m very skeptical.
My mechanic who was once part of the thriving San Francisco auto repair industry has agreed to come with me when I go out to look at new cars…that way he can check them out and make sure everything works just fine so I don’t spend my hard earned dollars on yet another lemon.
