6/28 Need a friendly auto mechanic or someone knowledgeable about cars
in Silicon Valley. I have a crashed car and they unhooked the battery
in the impound lot. I need to get the mileage for insurance and a
couple of CDs out of the car. Can anyone recommend a person at
reasonable cost(insurance co. will reimburst me for cost)?
\_ I went to Fred's Wrench in Alameda a couple years ago after Midas
told me I needed a new transmission. Fred drove around with me
while I showed him all the weird noises, and told me the
transmission was fine for the age of the car, and that the motor
mounts needed replacement (which he did for 1/3 the price Midas
quoted).
\_ Can't you just go there and connect a battery to it? If you can't
do it, I'll do it for $100...
\_ get one of those cigarette-lighter attachment car starter things,
hook that up and it should give the car enough power to give you
an ODO reading and let you retrieve CD's. |
