Thank heavens for road hazard!

I had a flat tire on my flatbed trailer. A neighbor came over and took it off for me. I took it to Discount Tire to get it fixed. There was a screw right at the edge of the tread, unfixable. Had road hazard on it, tire was $107, but it only cost me $20 for road hazard on the new tire. Neighbor coming back to put new tire on, I’ll lift up back end of trailer with the tractor bucket.

Out garage charges $25 flat to remove and repair nail and screw holes.
Sometimes they have offered to fix small things for nothing.
Since I don't want to shop around for a new garage I have opted to pay them anyway.
They were able to find a whole new engine for Eldest DD's Scion a few years ago--dunno HOW they did that!!

@ducks4you they do have networks to parts, dealers and used parts and also salvage and junk yards. it's a part of their job IMO and a car person probably knows this too. me not being a car person i'm quite happy if it all happens by magic.

recently we wanted to replace a CD player in Mom's car. dealer didn't have those units any more, could get one used (nope i don't want to do that as it is likely it won't work for long either), Best Buy would replace it with a single CD player but Mom doesn't want one of those, so we're stuck at the moment until i come up with a music player that she can use via the AUX port. i think i can do this, but haven't gotten that far yet.

all of this i found out via looking online and calling around.

the place we used to use for car stereo stuff stopped doing car stereo stuff (but has not changed its website grr!) and nobody else around could do it either. so here we are.
