My husband works for an auto repair company. It has a convenience store/deli that he works in but we always have the repair side work on our car. A year ago they told us we needed a transmission flush per toyota maintenance program. Apparently they didn't "seal" the transmission right, causing a leak and that is what happened to our camry. No this is a family owned business since the early 60's, all certified mechanics and has a great reputation. They have to send the car out because it needs a transmission overhaul, and they don't do that. The charge $1725.45. As I already explained, we don't have that kind of money, and we have been scrambling, trying to figure out what to do. We live in a small town with no public transportation and he works in Charlotte, about a half hour away. He's been taking uber to and from work which costs about $20.00 less than he makes a day. Well, everything has worked out. I found out through toyota that they have no transmission flushes in their maintenance plan.and the mechanic didn't seal it properly. So they were able to get $1,000.00 off the cost and are going to pay the $700.00, and we will pay that back over several pay periods. My son is helping me rent a car which I am getting tomorrow so alls well that ends well. Seriously, everything always works out through God and worrying helps nothing. 3 months ago I would have smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day, justifying it because it "helped my nerves" Thank God I for giving me the strength to not smoke, and thank EX for helping me, supporting me, encouraging me. I could not have done this without you!

Connie 53 DOF and it feels great!

I'm 59 with severe COPD. I've decided I really want to live and I won't if I smoke. I have 4 grown boys, a grandson and granddaughter due on 9/10. Lots of reasons to live.
