Technology + Auto Repair = Cake

I love living in the internet age. You can pretty much do anything you need over the internet. I was pretty impressed when I was able to simple pay bills online, but now you can even get vehical repair estimates done online lol. I remember, maybe 5 years ago, digging out the yellow pages and going down the list, calling every single auto repair place and explaining to them what I needed done, in a search to find the absolute cheapest route.

Maybe 4 years ago, I was searching for quotes to get the timing belt replaced on my Honda Accord. I literally spent half a day skimming through phone numbers. On another occasion, I got stranded in San Francisco after my water pump died, so I had to borrow a stranger’s phone book to lookup San Franciso auto repair places. Not fun times!

Thankfully, the world is a-changing and becoming a delightful tech-savvy place, making things as annoying as auto repair as efficient as can be.
