Does anyone know where I can possible get some help with my car? I very badly need to get my brakes done asap. The front rotors are warped beyond words & I really need to get the spark plugs & wires replaced. I've hit hard times over the past few months & managed to get everything caught up but I just don't have the money to get my car fixed. I have a 45 minute drive to work & back everyday & with the weather getting colder & going to start snowing before we know it & really need to get these things done before I end up getting into an accident or stranded somewhere between home & work. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it. I hate doing this but I have really exhausted all other resources & it's the only car I have to haul my kids & myself in. Only serious people please. Email me as soon as possible if you can help. Thank you so much!!

What can I do next?

Hi N.!

A great place to get your car worked on by an honest good person is Cal's auto repair in Merriam KS. He is the spouse of my longtime friend and daycare provider! I have 3 kids, 23, 12 & 8 and she watched all three of them when they were small. Potty trained all three!! Cal is the best. He will treat you fair and not try to take advantage like a lot of those repair shops. Give him a call. Let him know that Deb sent you!

Good luck!

Deb

I don't know where you live but if you live close to raytown Eagle brake and muffler is a great place. I have been going to them for about 20 years and my parents went to them for about 20 they are honest I think that they may have some kind of payment plan you would need to check

Hi N.,
My brother is a mechanic at a shop in Shawnee, but also does it on the side. This enables hime to do it a lot cheaper. He has been working on cars since waaaay before he could drive one so you would be in very capable hands! If you are interested, send me a message and I will give you his contact info. Good luck!

Not sure where you are in the metro but All Tune and Lube in Olathe on 135th & Mur-Len is great and very reasonable. Dan is great and will not try and screw you over b/c you are a woman.

I'm not sure where your located but Pleasant Valley Baptist ###-###-#### ) in Liberty, MO offers an outreach to the community where they have a certain evening that mechanics will do repairs on vehicles. I'm not sure if there is any fee involved but I'm sure if you called you could get more information. Good luck and keep your chin up!

Check craigslist in the "services" under auto. You may find a mechanic needing to make some extra money, espec. with the holiday season. It's always cheaper if you buy the parts yourself, shops add a service charge to parts. So that way you would buy the parts and just have a mechanic put them on.
