Reliable Car

Driving is a great privilege and owning a car to drive is a total package.

Having a car in the United States is a necessity. It takes us from here and there to work, school, church, appointments and joy riding with friends of course.

As always, handle with care, I mean we have to take care of our cars. Every six months or a yearly maintenance is very important. It's better to be safe than sorry, right?

Hearing the news over the radio and seeing them on TV, there's a recall for almost all model of Toyota products.
My friend who is living in downtown Chicago called and told me about it too. She owned a Toyota Corolla, 2002 model and super glad that it wasn't included in the Toyota recall. I understand that a lot of people owning different model of Toyota were not happy about the recall but sometimes, things will just come up from the open. It's a good thing that the Toyota Company announced it in public for the safety of all the users.

Back to my friend's car, she told me that she brought her car to the nearest chicago auto repair for maintenance and whenever there's something wrong with her car. She talks about how professional, quick and honest this auto shop she's going to.

One time, while she's in the hospital (where she works at as a nurse), the auto repair people called her if the y can replace the car's water pump. She was not even thinking that there is such a thing in a car. Yeah, we only drive and don't have any idea or clue what are the things to be done with our cars.

Anyway, I'm happy for my friend in Chicago. Even though she's just living by herself, she manage to handle all the things to be done, specially the quarterly or yearly check up of her car.

Having a car is just like having a child almost. We have to take good care of it and make sure the maintenance is up to date.
