Car Repair Adventures Part 2

On Monday, I finally called Williamson Honda and asked some questions about availability for repair and if they could recommend a tow service.  The woman on the other end was very kind and helpful, encouraging me to get my car in as soon as possible via a tow service number she provided and that they would get to my car as soon as the other prior appointments out of the way.

Unfortunately they were unable to get to my car until around noon today.  Nate, the service guy in charge of my car, told me that my car had started no problem and they were able to pull it into the service bay without issue.  That made me a little irritated that I had spent over a week trying to get this thing to start, and they had no issue.  Sigh.

Anyway, Nate called me around 3:30 this afternoon to inform me that after the initial start of the car to pull it into the bay, they were unable to get the car to start again.  He then said that it was the ignition that had gone bad.  The total cost of the diagnosis, part, and labor?  $370, give or take a couple bucks.  

Yeah, I'll take that over searching Craigslist for another car.

This was the only picture I could find in my cars color.  Yes, the guy actually  "slammed the back".  Wtf?
