Tender Mercies, Mechanics Edition


I was driving home from work today and all of the sudden my car started humming really loud. Then I felt something dragging under the car.
I knew Jiffy Lube was only a block away so I loudly pulled in and said I have no idea what is wrong but it is loud. The mechanic looked under my car and my exhaust pipe had split in two and was dragging on the ground.
Jiffy Lube does not do this kind of work but they put the pieces back together temporarily and gave me the directions to the closest mechanic at a Goodyear shop. They did not even charge me for the time.
The mechanic at the Goodyear store looked and listened to my car. He gave me two honest repair options and had the car fixed within an hour, without breaking the bank.
Talk about tender mercies, my car broke down in the city and not on the freeway or in an unfamiliar location. Then the mechanics I worked with were all very helpful and got me on my way as soon as possible without huge costs. Heavenly Father really watched over me today!

Glad you made it ok - that is scary! Too bad you weren't closer to an un-named friend of ours' house and maybe she would have had an extra exhaust inside that would have fit your car :)
