One last item...
You don't say whether you are male or female, and your name could indicate
either.

IF you are female, I am sure you know that there are unscrupulous mechanics
and
garages which will take advantage of your perceived lack of knowledge. They
will
do the same to a man who goes in and advertises that he knows nothing about
cars, 'just fix it'.

**You need to go in forewarned and prearmed with facts. Ask questions, get
answers,
and set limits.

If you live in the USA, I might suggest you do the above**, and then look at
the AAA
website for their list of approved mechanics. Don't go with a pig in a
poke.
