Car Trouble
Who: AJ, Cate, and Colin
What: Getting his truck a tune up
When: 11.12.12 - Monday morning
Where: RC Auto Repair
Warning: None
AJ's truck had been making funny noises all weekend. It hadn't liked the cross country drive at all. He probably needed a new one, but the divorce and the move had taken up most of his savings. Just because he didn't have to pay alimony didn't mean the legal fight hadn't been expensive. Starting over was expensive, too.
So if his truck needed fixing, he wanted it done right. Word around the station was that if that was what he wanted, take it to RC Auto Repair in the Palisades. Apparently the owner was the best mechanic in the city. The station hired him to work on their engines sometimes. If the guy was that good, he should be able to save AJ's Toyota.
Pulling up to the small autoshop, AJ didn't see anyone outside. Which wasn't surprising, considering it was pouring cold rain. He knew it was cold and rainy in DC in the winter, but he was a California boy born and raised. So it seemed a lot colder to him. There was a small office to one side, so he decided to try his luck there. Hurrying through the chilly rain, he stepped into the building. "Hello?" he called out. Hopefully, somebody was around.
