Well this morning I got off to a sluggish start and finally made to the dealers to have my shocks replaced. I got here a little later then I had intended but I still made here about 9:15 and being it was a Saturday it was kind of crowded. Most of the places were taken to be able to sit down have a table in front of me, but fortunately for me a man got up and I had to ask the women that was sitting there with here Ipad tablet I believe. If she didn't mind sharing the table which she had no problem, it so nice to see people still able to share their space in this day an age.
I am grateful that I have the available funds in my acct. to pay for these shocks cause I was told I was in desperate need to have the replaced or else I would start bottoming out when I hit bumps and dips on the road. I think because going to CUT since they moved has taken it toll on my shocks but after all my Xterra is 8 yrs. old now so that is pretty good that I am finally replacing them after this long a period. I really am not sure how long they are suppose to last but 8 yrs. Well I just got a confirmation from one of the service reps. and the normal wear is like 40 to 50 thousand miles and I have already doubled that almost tripled if is really 40,000.
I am sitting 5 feet away from a table with all kinds of goodies and although it is tempting I am not really interested in them but those cookies do look good. They have bananas and apples too along with OJ to drink along with their normal coffee in the corner with donuts, but like I said before they are tempting. I might grab a banana but right now I am doing just fine with the coffee I had earlier.
I have never really seen it this crowded in here before at the dealers in the service center but then again I am usually in here around 7 and out of here by now or maybe a little later, actually one time I got here by 7:30 and didn't leave until after 1:30 now that was a long day but even then it really wasn't too crowded and I had my Ipad to watch movies so the time went by kind of fast, well as fast as it would if you were stuck somewhere for a long period of time. Todays visit was going to take a little over a hour and a half from the time they start I presume. Being I got here at let say 9:20 I am looking at being out of here maybe as early as 11 which is not too bad. I hope they don't have any problems.
The women across from me is a realtor and she was doing all of prep stuff while she was waiting for her car. Today was not her day cause she woke up with Laryngitis and could barely talk but she tried to communicate never the less. Finally the service rep came and gave her the bad news makes me feel lucky to only being paying so little if she were to take care of everything it would run her well over a thousand one of the problems was going to cost her at least 500 just to check to see what the problem actually was, of course that fee would then be applied to the actual repair but still just to look that is crazy. I guess it is the way the service rep said it that made it kind of funny. His words were if you are going to keep the car I would take care of this first cause it is the most pressing item first which was the most expensive one of the bunch.
Well it looks like my Xterra is almost done and then another quick wash so I can be on my way. Not sure what I am going to do now I have the choice of going to Little Jesse's game at noon or just go back home and veg out. What to do? What to do? well I will have figure that out soon enough so I guess I am going to finish this off now so I can get my stuff ready to go. Well it has been real I hope I didn't bore you too much with my going on and on.
