Houston Breakdown
By Ed. Filed in Business, Computers & Internet, Life, Travel, Wheels |
My daughter just called from the side of the road in Houston. Her car has broken down and she needed me to help her find someplace to fix it. Of course, this has to be the holiday weekend and everyone is going to be going out of town or closed.
Her Acura Integra won’t start. She’s at the mall, so that’s good. At least she isn’t stranded on the side of the highway. She can go back into the mall and have a frappacino and make calls on her cell phone in air conditioned comfort while Dad deals with the problem for her.
I did a quick search for Houston auto repair and found a place to call. I hope that calling on a Friday afternoon isn’t going to be a problem. I know most of the places around here will be closed Saturday and Sunday, as usual, but will also be closed on Monday for the Fourth of July holiday.
Hopefully it is something simple, like a tune up or minor repair. That’s the problem of having the kids grow up and move out of the house and try to be all independent. They don’t do things like simple auto maintenance, and next thing you now, they didn’t do a tune up when needed and then the car won’t start and they call on Dad to help them out.
