NEW TRANSMISSION
(Friday) We finally got our old minivan out of the shop this afternoon. The transmission had to be replaced and they were going to put in a rebuilt unit -- which wasn't that much more expensive than a used transmission. However, without bothering to tell me Nona's found a low mileage used transmission with the same warrenty as a rebuilt unit. So when I went in to pick up the van it cost $600 less than quoted. This is not the first time that these guys have quietly saved me buckets of money.
