Dumbest thing I did attempting to repair my car.
I ended up getting the bearing extracting tool stuck on my Subaru wheel hub. It's supposed to sit on the hub flange, now I have to cut it off.
Worst weekend ever and now I have to take the bus. |
Yikes! Sorry to hear!
|
stuff happens. sorry to hear it, since time is money don't be afraid to tow it to a shop so they can man handle the car into submission.
|
It's gotten worse, the wheel bearing assembly from autozone DOESN'T FIT, even though it's the right part number.
It's getting forcibly towed tomorrow because inoperable vehicles are not allowed at apartments, I don't get paid till Thursday. I'm flat broke, unbelievable. Wasted 3 days of my life on that car. |
GAH .
It happens although few ever admit it . |
My heart goes out to you. I've lived in many different apartment complexes and none of them are DIY/mechanic friendly. IMHO, they should be more understanding when you have a mechanical issue with your car.
|
You might talk to them and give a specific date it will be gone and see if they will cooperate.

I think my aunt saved me, she had a family member who knows a mechanic towed the car before they did, and all i owe for the tow is $50 for the tow.
I think he is a shade tree, I'll just let him fix the damn thing. At least that's what I hope happened. |
She was too late, costed $307 to release it, and $150 to tow it back.
Now I have to put everything back together in the cold rain. Fun times. |
Sorry to hear about that. Again, the apartment complex should be more understanding when a tenant has a mechanical problems with their car.

Rentals & Vehicle Repair
Showing that you've never been a landlord .
The messes created by the average DIY'er have to be experienced to be believed . Oil, coolant and fuel spills that destroy laws, flowers and trees along with any asphalt paving.... Massive divots from jack stands placed without proper support that remain years later . Greasy hand prints all over the walls, elevators, railings and so on . I really think you live in a bubble sometimes . |

NEWS FLASH: if a tenant can't get to work they can't make any $$$$ to pay the rent!!!! |
IMHO, it is best to save up and buy a single family house with a garage. Why pay rent to a care nothing do nothing land lord when you can put $$$$ into your own place? If you get a little grease or oil on your own garage floor you don't have worry about the landlord screaming at you to clean it up!

Father of Giants. Sorry to hear of your troubles. Best of luck with it all.
I am also sorry that there are some on this forum who wish to kick you while you’re down. I’m sure you are learning from the whole experience so just hang tough and consider the source. |
The only people kicking him financially is the apartment management. They don't care about their tenant's car troubles, thus the high dollar tow.
All cars require brake jobs, steering, suspension, tune-ups, etc. According to the apartment people, you best take your car to the repair shop and fork over $80+++/hour in labor costs. |
