Friday Wisdom – Car Repair

I had to take my car in for it’s major service. This morning I get to take it back to replace a seat heater switch. It’s not that I want the seat heater on. No I want it off and from time to time my seat was hot when I wanted cold. Turns out it’s a sticking switch that isn’t normally in stock. Well, they called yesterday and they have the part so I’m off to the service center to get that replaced. As you might expect, I know a lot about car repairs:

The mechanic said, “Sorry sir, we weren’t able to fix. your brakes, so we just made the horn louder.”

They service manager said that he thought my car should see a therapist — it just has too many issues.

I told the car sales department that I wanted an ulta fuel efficient car. They took me to the bike shop next door.

Did you hear about the mechanics who just started a new band? They’re calling themselves, “The Cylinders.”

Be cautious of a auto mechanic who rides a bike to work …

I was going to write a joke about cars, but it wasn’t wheel-y funny.

My car just stopped working one day and I called my mechanic, she said, “You’re car is just exhausted.”

I went to the library and asked if they had a book on how to fix an automatic transmission, but the librarian said they only had manuals.

I told my mechanic that my car was humming. He said that’s because it doesn’t know the words.

A jumper cable walks into a bar and the bartender says, “You can have anything you want, just don’t start anything.”

Did you hear about the truck driver who drove his truck off a cliff? Turns out he wanted to try out his air brakes.

I took my car in for service because it was making a terrible noise. The service tech, removed the John Travolta Sings Christmas CD and things sound much better now.

I have a quantum mechanic. He both fixes and doesn’t fix my car at the same time, and I’m never certain what his charge will be.

  3. “the librarian said they only had manuals.” Haha! Nice.
    We’ve had to get our vehicles repaired four times in the last two months. It’s truly exhausting. (Wasn’t intending the pun, but might as well roll with it. Ah! Another one!)

    I think I preferred the one about the “book on how to fix an automatic transmission,” but there were a good few others just as good.

  9. I love heated seats. Only one of our older cars has them. It is a summer car, but a convertible so in the cooler evenings it is wonderful to have a warm back and butt. LOL! Happy New Year to you!
