Transmission Shops

It's morning and you're already late for work but that can't be helped. You gulp down a quick mouthful of toast, wash it down with a swallow of coffee and grab your attache case on your way out the door. It's down to the last minute now and you know you're probably going to need to floor it somewhere along the way. When you get in the car though something odd happens. Your engine revs as usual and you've made sure the brakes aren't on, but you're not moving. You give up and sigh in defeat, hotfooting it back into the house to search for transmission shops in the yellow pages.

If you thought it would be any quicker you'd go to the trouble of turning on your computer and going through the internet listings for any transmission shops but your old clunker of a computer takes so long to start that you just don't have the time to deal with it. Besides there should be any number of transmission shops to be found in the yellow pages, right?

Unfortunately this is where you're not entirely correct. There are a good many transmission shops to be found in your area but none of them are open just now, and the one that was open was unable to give you anything definite.

There's nothing for it, you call a taxi and wait, because you're a mile away - or so it seems - from the nearest bus station. Next you call the office to say that you'll be getting in a little later than usual.

You debate about starting up the computer and going online to see whether you can find any transmission shops there, but decide against it in the end. The taxi will probably have arrived before you get very far, so you sit back and enjoy your breakfast in relative peace and even manage to down a second cup of coffee before the taxi gets to your door.

At work now, you take your whole lunch break to call around the various transmission shops to see if they'll be able to get to your car anytime soon. It doesn't look like it and you may just need to find another ride for the next few days as well.

But you give it one last stab and go through the internet trawling for transmission shops that might be able to accommodate you and broken down car. And although the reason for its breakage could be just about anything, you know it' the transmission because the last time you were in you were warned about it.

Being in such a hurry however, and having been assured that it would hold out for a bit longer you drove away completely forgetting about it until it actually broke down. Now you have to go in search of transmission shops, and you also have to pay for a taxi as well. You know you wouldn't ignore a warning like that again in a hurry!
