The total costs of car repair - $2,134.
OK, that wasn't just to fix the electrical problem..
The alternator had a bad diode that charged the battery - sometime. OK, that needed replacing. That fixes Saturday's problem.
I complained about road noise coming from the rear. Well, yeah.. the tires are cutup and cupped and have tread issues... OK, new set of tires
Well.. why did the tires degrade? Well, the rear struts were worn and shot. Replace the rear struts.
Braking seems week? Yep... rotors are fine.. but needs brakes both front and rear. Replace brakes.
Original belts on the car? Well, we're replacing the alternator so... replace belts.
$2,134 later, I have a car that rides better and quieter.
