We had car trouble today, the other day we heard an unusual noise and made an appointment in a couple days to get it checked out. But today on our way back from my pt appt, it basically died on us.
Fortunately, we were able to pull off a main road (Kam Hwy) into a parking lot (Pearl City Post Office) and had to call a tow truck to take us to the auto shop and then took the bus home.
Thanks to @rapidtowing_hawaii for coming so rapidly and @lexbrodiesoahu in Waipahu for helping us (Remember to ask for the Costco discount at Lex Brodieโs).
Hopefully the carโs diagnosis isnโt too bad but weโll see.
UPDATE:ย ย Lex Brodie Waipahu fixed it up, it needed a new alternator, alternator belt and battery.ย
Lesson Learned: Don’t procrastinate, get your vehicle checked out ASAP when you sense something isn’t right to avoid future stress and towing fees.
