Window...

I have a 2002 Honda Accord. On Monday my car window decided to stay down. Wouldn't roll back up. So I did some research on line and found that I may need to replace the regulator or motor. The regulator comes with the motor, so regardless of whether it is the motor or regulator the whole thing would need to be changed. Today I went to get it fixed, before I signed the work order I was told of a fee to check and diagnose what is wrong with it. I already knew what was wrong with it so I told the guy, all it needs is the regulator w/motor to be changed. He said they would charge the fee to inspect then they would charge the fee for the part and labor. That did not sound good so I decided not to get my window fixed at this place. FYI: the place was Tempe Honda.

The one thing I did do at Tempe Honda was get my oil changed and tires rotated though. While waiting I sent a text to a couple friends see if they knew anybody who could fix it for me.

So came back home to do some more research and see if I could locate a different place who wouldn't try to overcharge me. Through autozone.com I found a Meineke close to me. So I called Meineke and was also told they would charge a fee to inspect. Their fee was lower than Tempe Honda's. I told they guy what needed to be changed and he said he would "make some calls" and call me back with a price. So he called back in like 10 minutes and quoted me an amount that was completely off the wall. The total higher even than what it would have cost at Tempe Honda. I asked him specifically to break down the cost and sure enough I was being overcharged for the part. They were charging me twice than what the actual part would cost, aside from the labor. So scratch that place.

I got a text back from Blanca saying that Nancy's boyfriend Joey could see it tomorrow....Happy thought of my car window fixed went through my head for about 1 to 2 hours... Just got a call from Blanca after she realized that the window I was talking about was my car window and not my house window. Joey builds houses so he would be great if I needed something to be looked at around the house.

So I am in search of a mechanic who won't try to rip me off on the cost of the part or labor. I don't need to check what's wrong with my car because I already know what's wrong with it. The part I can get on line at the true cost of it and in some sites I saw I could get a discount...

I actually found a guide on how to do it myself, however I do not have the tools needed to take apart my door and fix it. I did try. :)

So if anybody knows anybody who can fix this for me that would be awesome. Please let me know...
