I dropped my vibe today!!!!

Post by ShotInTheDark »

Well after sitting on a set of Progress Springs now for over 8 monthes, I finally got around to the install. The school system down here does these types of things for free I found out from a friend. I took the car there at 8:30 this morning and in three hours the students with teacher supervision had all four springs installed, my oil changed, the tire rotated and a strut brace installed for FREE! If the weather clears up I'll snap some pictures. HOORARY for Votech schools.

What school is that? I'd like to keep it in mind for future installations...Maryland is only 3 hours away...which is worth it for free installs...

We have some school like this too...You only pay for the part, nothing or almost nothing for the labour.

I actually used to be the kid taht worked on the cars. I went to J.D. Rockefeller Vocational Center during most of my high school years. People would only have to pay for the part, and we got to install it. They had to sign a wavier that if we really messed something up we were not accountable though.

We have one of those schools here too. Steel Center votech school was the one that my High School used. It's only about 15 min away from me. I should check and see if they would insall springs for me. A good friend of mine went there, I should ask him.
