I was pretty upset when I received the General Motors recall notice on my 2005 Saturn ION. Seems the ignition was defected. I’m not a big fan of driving, the plan is always just go where I need to go and get back as quick as I can.  The notice came in April 2014. I easily convinced myself to take care of it when my inspection was due, before the end of July.

I got an appointment last week  and took my car into the dealership City Cadillac, before I knew it, I was being informed that my fluids had to be changed. Brake System Service and Cooling System Service. Lube Oil and Filter Replace. Only God know when the last time this stuff was taken care of.  I looked at the guy and said OK.  Don’t want to drive around missing all that fluid. Then he told me there was a new recall coming about the power steering. Really? That’s when I stopped hearing what he was saying.  When I got to work, he called me and told me there were some recommendations he had to tell me about. I’d be lying if I told  you I remembered one thing  he said. “No, thanks, not at this time Maybe when I come in for the next recall” Guess what, when  I went to get my car I found out that the power steering recall had been taken care of too. Happy!! 🙂

I got the bill, which I thought was a whopper, but again my ex-husband always took care of the cars, so maybe this is not too bad. What do I know? I try not to cry about money, I just feel better to lose some money than my fingers. So anyway, I got 2 new keys, my fluids replaced, the  inspection sticker and my car is back where she belongs in the backyard.  I have to say, I felt that I had a smoother ride home and that’s a good thing. Oh and he called my car  a baby because she only has 22,000 miles. I told you I don’t like to drive.
