The Mini is back in the shop. this time for the air conditioning evaporator. The internet says this is a five hour job. They've had the car for over a week.
I know all I have to do is change my mind. Or, just seem to change my mind. Gary won't play though. All he would have to do is call the Mini people to ask about the status of the car while I yell in the background, "Why do we need air conditioning? I'll just drive your car on hot days!"
Or, perhaps they're just used to west county executives bellowing that their daughters need their "Mini Coopers back now or I will sue."
We had no air conditioning in the first car we owned, a Honda CRX. And of course I know the Mini Service department wants us to buy a new car,so they're scooting us closer to the breakeven point. If we start spending five grand a year on repairs, it actally would make sense to buy a new car.
Wait, you're taking it to the dealership for service? After the warranty or service plan expired? That's the most expensive and least efficient option. Plus, some dealerships "arrange" for repeat trips, if you know what I mean.

~~Silk - the mechanic we would usually peg to work on it told us the dealer should do it, since it involves disassembling the dashboard and part of the car. I hear what you're saying about arranging, but the ac has been bad for three years.
