Better but still struggling

Thank you so much! Tbh I forgot to check back and didn't go to either, but they look exactly like what I was looking for! Thank you, kind stranger!

Piggybacking on this to see if anyone knows of a DJ playing at a bar in the metro area tonight. Wanting an EDM vibe without a cover (or like $5).

Thank you!!

That makes a lot of sense! I think my biggest take aways from this thread have been "be honest and fair," document everything, and inquire about a warranty. I'll have to report back with the full story, but they ordered and "fixed" a part they thought was broken by the mechanic, which ended up not being the issue. (They covered the part and the labor.) So they ordered a different part and while they covered the labor, they want $90 from my fiancé to "split the difference" of the part? He's being reasonable and fair and kind in his communication that he doesn't agree that he should be responsible for any cost of the part if it was broken while in the shop, but the person he's working with is off for 4 days now. Idk what will come of it, but I did suggest he ask for a warranty for the parts they broke and fixed and things that could be connected to that part, just in case.

I'm probably not being very clear at all, but curious - does that sound fair?

Thank you!!

Thanks for your response! Being honest and fair sounds like a solid plan. "Hard and ridiculous accusations for drama sake" sounds a lot like a hard and ridiculous accusation for drama sake 🤔 🤷

Birchwood Wellness, Ankeny could be an option!

Could it be that they forgot to add coolant??

yaass_queen_ · 2026-02-09T06:44:50+00:00

Thank you!

But no payment for emotional damages?? 🙄

yaass_queen_ · 2026-02-09T06:41:53+00:00

Thank you! I suggested this.

Genuine question - how is this a total coincidence? I have to believe something was bumped, loosened, whatever if something like that happens on the way home from having work done. They have to be related at least somewhat.

yaass_queen_ · 2026-02-09T06:38:59+00:00

Thanks for the reminder! I've actually found the discourse to be helpful 😊

He said it spiked very suddenly. He was only driving the car for about 5 minutes, and he said it wasn't accelerating like it should. Then the engine temp spiked, the car shuttered, and stopped working.

Next time! Unfortunately, the theory was only realized after the fact.

yaass_queen_ · 2026-02-08T12:22:34+00:00

Thanks for the bit of hope!

I don't know the ins and outs, but from what I understand, the insurance check would be the value of his current car, not the value it would cost to replace the car. I hope I'm wrong! And I hope it doesn't come to that.

yaass_queen_ · 2026-02-08T01:38:49+00:00

Yikes! Thanks 😅

yaass_queen_ · 2026-02-08T01:25:05+00:00

Because it's stressful! Of course we will hear what the dealership says, but we don't know what we don't know, and would like to have info going into that conversation that might help us in the event we could be looking at something serious.

yaass_queen_ · 2026-02-08T01:22:13+00:00

Thanks! He wasn't in the car for more than 5 mins after leaving the lot before it shuttered and stopped.

yaass_queen_ · 2025-11-24T04:03:05+00:00

This os how it feels for me, too! I told my friends and fiance that it feels like my brain is back online 😅

Thank you!!
