Car repairs

It's ironic that this post entails information about car repair estimates because just this morning my car battery died on me, and not just that, but two days before someone ran into the back of the said vehicle. (My luck..)

Doing my normal daily rounds on the internet I came across RepairPal.com and when I tell you this website is a cut above the rest, trust me - it is! The website has a host of features all of which are suited in assisting the customer in tracking the repair specifics of their car, finding the closest auto repair shops, advice on getting repairs and even tracking the current status of repairs on your vehicle! (Marvellous!)

Through the sites simple to use interface prospective customers are able to find their make car, ranging from Acura - Volvo and the part of problem they need fixed for example brakes.

I did a test run of the "get an estimate" feature of the site for a 2007 BMW 760i (1000 mileage) which needed front brake pad replacement for someone living the Los Angeles area.


Here are the results:

Parts: $48 - $170

Labor: $102 - $130

(Estimate excludes applicable taxes)

(Diagnostic charges not included)

The estimate came with a list of auto repair shops closest to my area code.

Not too shabby, huh? I was impressed!

Do your self a favor before you take your baby, I mean your car, to an overpriced, understaffed and unknown repair place where the mechanic is only known as "chico" and check RepairPal out. It may save you a world of time and money.

Dont take my word for it, go check it out yourself!

Ryan Leslie in the studio making "Addiction".
The song is recorded with Leslie and Cassie on the track singing the hook.
After seeing the making of the song I had a greater appreciation for Leslie's work.
