Non-interesting Hyundai fix-it post
Feb 26th- new front tires............................................... $135
March 3rd-ish- took car to Hyundai to find out why the "check engine" light was on. They told me it was the Mass Intake Airflow sensor Part costs $465, not including labor. Didn't fix at that time. Total estimate for repair would have been $515.
March 20th-ish - flippy doo-dad switchy thing that makes the brake lights turn off broke (the one connected to the brake pedal) Replaced by myself, sort of. My boss climbed upside down in the car to fix it. :)...........................$27
April 18th-ish- took car back to Hyundai to finally fix the sensor and get emissions sticker updated (They won't pass the car for emissions if a check engine light is on- it automatically fails, even if the engine is running perfectly)
Turned out to be a hole in the vacuum hose that attaches to the sensor, so they fixed that, the oil change, changed the brake pads, fixed a different hose that had a leak for the power steering, and did the emissions test which passed. :) Total cost to fix all of that stuff.............$525.
Total spent to pass my $35 emissions test.......................$687.00
(not including fuel, car payment, and insurance)

| I am glad our state doesn't do that yet. Both are vehicles have their check engine lights lit. They are both running OK so no need to get them fixed yet. Maybe once our finances are in better health I will get them fixed! |

Dang, that sucks...
We have three cars that have to pass smog check in the next month. All I can do is cross my fingers. |

| Ouch! That's a pretty painful price tag for an emissions exam! But now, you've got it all in great running shape & ought to be driving like a dream for quite awhile. Right? |

| Good God almighty! Sounds just like what we went thru a couple of weeks ago...the cost of repairs, inspection and emission inspection was absolutely ridiculous!! |

Ouch, sometimes I think we'd simply be better off on horses.
