Locate an Auto Repair Shop in Big Spring, Texas

The dealer ship is definitely not one I would recommend however every time I contacted Hyundai trying to get things resolved their customer care phone center did not seem to care too much. I got the impression that all person on the phone wanted to do was be able to close the complaint as quick as possible. They must have orders to get people through fast. Whether or not the issue was truly resolved appeared to take second place. The dealership did get me a great price but then their repair department was where they seemed to fail. (Boucher Hyundai / Waukesha WI. More than once I had to come back (especially with the transmission) and several times I had to tell them what was wrong and how to fix it (k up tables in the microcontroller not updating correctly). Tell them it shakes at high speeds and it is was a good chance they would not check it except around the block at 20MPH, get an alignment and I had to come back as it would then pull left. I was told later by an employe they were having pay disputes and that is why the mechanics are unhappy. It then reflected in the quality of work. I also think they get bonuses for selling you useless work. With the car we bought a prepaid oil change service plan (big mistake!!). A few weeks ago my wife took it in just to get the oil changed. She called me all flustered as they were pressing her to get work done they said it needed. So she called me and I had her put them on the phone. I was told the car never had the required service maintenance of a front end alignment and that it needed brakes. I then asked what about the front end alignment done a few thousand miles ago that they did and also informed them we had the brakes checked when we brought it into our regular mechanic for a winter check just a month ago and he said the pads are fine. He shut up instantly. Actually had they really did the multi-point inspection they supposedly do with the oil change they would have seen we had a light out which I would have said no to anyways as I already had the replacement bulb in the trunk but had been putting it off. Perhaps the same is with the Hyundai's consumer affairs department - pay little and get unhappy workers. However sell a bad product and give second rate customer care and you get your customers leaving and buying from your competitors. Sad to say, many repair trips later and calls to their customer care and it still slips. What a junk car (company)!

It worked. I've had 3 excellent Lexus LSes, 02, 05, 09. Not a wimper out of any of them. But, my buddy let me drive his 2011 7 Series yesterday, and WOW! Was I impressed!! The cameras, the features, the comfort, the vault like quiet, the feather like smoothness, and most of all, the DRIVE. Unbelievable! Now I get it, what the big whoop is about BMW. HOWEVER, your post has given me pause - even great pause, because I have had friends who have told me never again, a BMW. Figured they were nervous nellies, but perhaps not. Incidently, my buddy is turning his 2011 back under the Lemon Law Buyback because of electrical glitches they can't seem to fix. Guess that should be my first sign, and your message my final sign. Thanks for the info. My Lexus drives like warm wallpaper paste, but it does it every day without complaint. And I like that.

I can't tell you how a hybrid tax credit carries over but I do know that at least some tax credits do that. When we adopted my youngest daughter there was a big credit for that - more than we withheld (or had due) on the income tax that year. We got back all our withholdings plus a nice little bit the next year. It was a pleasant surprise for us. When we began the process the credit wasn't even in our minds and then once we became aware of it they doubled the credit. Nice surprise.

That's part of the reason why I keep more cash around - it's a big pain to go to ANY ATM here, and it's a good 10 miles to the nearest ATM for my bank (to avoid the fees).

Yep, that's why I said the majority. From my experience, relatively few SUV drivers tow big boats, have 6 kids and a horse sized dog, live on a farm, etc. For those others, it's the only choice, more efficient than a two car trip. No question the majority don't have trailers to tow while hauling kids, but it's more common than you likely realize. In my neighborhood of roughly 50 houses. I know of at least 7 boats and 3 travel trailers and we all have more than one school age children. Go find a lake or a campground and you'll see the majority of full size SUVs and pickups towing something. But I'm sure it's a regional thing too. The midwest seems to have a lot of rv's and boats. Just travel any odd numbered interstate in the midwest during early spring or late fall. It's one RV after another heading south for the winter and back north for the summer. The trucks and fifth wheel RV's seem to get bigger every year. But to your point, I'm 100% with you. For many people a wagon or minivan makes far more sense than a CUV or SUV.
