Back in the Shop and Another Loaner

Friday was another day loaded with vehicle repairs. It just seems one thing leads to another. Eventually, all of this will be over and we’ll be on the road again. When we were in Yuma we had a rock hit our windshield. We had put off having it replaced but figured since we’re stuck in this area, we might as well just have that done too. And, we did.

We also thought we were through with loaners and repair work but that just wasn’t the case. The Jeep is back in the shop and we have another loaner. Obviously, we weren’t happy campers about either of those things but we wanted it fixed and the only way to do that was drop it off again.

Evidently, the muffler didn’t get inspected when the Jeep did. It wasn’t too difficult to figure out what was wrong. You could hear us coming as the car was very noisy. We figured the muffler just needed to be secured to stop the vibration so I made a call to Progressive to get the vehicle back in. As great as they had been with us, the thing we always had a problem with was getting them to call us back. That is not their strong point. So, after the windshield was replaced we bypassed Progressive and took the Jeep to the shop that actually did the collision repair. They had that car in and inspected in no time. Elite Collision set us up with a loaner and ordered a new muffler since the one on the car did not escape damage from the impact. We’re sure itching to get out of here. Hopefully, the muffler will be in on Monday and we can put this behind us again.
