my boyfriend's car has shit the bed so we are going to have a mobile mechanic come to our house to assess my volvo

if the repairs for my volvo are cheaper than the repairs for his car, we're gonna sell his car as is and someone will probably buy it for parts and fix my car!

i might get my volvo back!

hoooray


but in all reality it'll probably cost a buttload to repair my car anyway

i'll be cautiously optimistic

it might be something with the fuel injector according to my coworkers

but then they said it may really just have been an issue with the computer system causing it to govern at a low MPH because my dashboard elements didn't work before it stopped moving really.

the issue is that it's been sitting for so long i need to have them jump the battery probably to assess the car and then if i do get it repaired i'll need to flush and replace probably all the fluids.

then we'll need to get it re-registered and insured again.

but i'm hoping it's less than my boyfriend's repairs and something easy like what you say so we can have two cars.

It's only gonna cost $70 to have a mobile mechanic come do a diagnostic on it. That's not bad at all.

It's about what a person is willing and able to do. I diagnosed and repaired my Kia when the upflow MO2 sensor went bad. It cost me $28,000, but I still got it done.

Should have gone to a mechanic.

Why didn't you just buy a new car?

Yes and that's what I need. I don't know a damn thing about cars so I need them to plug their computer in and pop the hood to look at it.

What do you think the $28,000 went to?


I bought a different car from my parents for $1 because avoidance is real and I never wanted to take my Volvo to a mechanic for fear of getting ripped off or hearing too high a number for me to justify repair. So I've just let it sit in my driveway for almost two years >_>

sweet so the mobile mechanic is gonna come to my house at 6pm.

i got a $20 off coupon for being a first time customer so the diagnostic fee is only gonna be $50. and if i decide to get the repairs done $30 of that $50 will go towards the repairs.

wooo

Truthfully that's kind of dank. Usually the full diagnostic price will go toward repair as long as you do it through them.


i don't think dank means what you think it means anymore

Needs some ignition coils, spark plugs and all new fluids. They're recommending a new battery too. That's to get it running. Then I'll probably need to do something for the dash board to get it back up and running.

No we replaced all the fuses associated with the dash. The only thing I could find is a computer hardware issue that may cost $1k to fix but my coworkers were telling me Volvos have this kind of issue randomly sometimes and it may be an easy fix. But it's definitely not the fuses because we tried that.

yes maam

to replace the broken touchscreen in my galant, i would have to rip out the entire middle column, and even then you can't just replace the screen apparently. you have to replace the whole...thingy. the cheapest i've found is $1200 and whatever. i can live with not being able to use GPS. everything else can be controlled with knobs like the radio, and AC. we're just using it as a display. it switches to the backup cam automatically, too, so whatever.

lmao the mobile mechanic said my boyfriend's car only needs like $200 in repairs and he isn't sure what the other mechanic was thinking saying it needed all those other repairs.

he's gonna fix it and sell it and we'll get my volvo up and running because his car has no a/c

pretty much can.

you get the machine, plug it into the car, then take it off and plug it into a computer, run the program, and the program tells you EXACTLY what isn't working right. there's no code lookups, it literally would say something like "#2 Engine Coil malfunction"

Those tests are not always accurate.
You might get the wrong engine coil values because something before it is broken.

The battery was $149 that I bought two years ago. But they were gonna charge for installation and shit. I just told him I'd do it myself and have a new one in when he came for the repairs.
