My Car Had to be towed....argh....



it was a monday night, i was about to attend a funeral wake, my car was parked along Lavendar Street just outside the Casket place by a stroke of luck.

it was timely cos my car's engine was 'vibrating' and the rpm was dropping below 500...and it just went dead...thinking i could just get it started again...i left it and went to the wake first without thinking about calling for a towing service.

about 30 minutes later, i came back, sat in the car, cranked the engine...and this time round it got started but went dead in less than 5 seconds. i tried almost non stop for almost 15 mnutes before i decided to call M&Q for help. Mr Chia gave me his towing partner's number, it took this guy almost an hour to arrive.

anyway to cut the long story, there was a problem with the Air flow Meter, aka Air Mass Meter, to replace that thing cos about $600-800 buxs, but there is no stock at this moment, M&Q did some repair work to it. All in, the towing and repair cost me $60! Not a bad deal. The car is more responsive now.
