Dallin the Handyman

Last week, we took our white car in for emissions and safety inspection . . . and we failed. I was really bummed because they gave us long and EXPENSIVE list of things we needed to fix. Actually, only one thing was required for us to pass (replace a broken motor mount), but of course it was the most expensive – $240! To fix everything on the list would have cost us over $550! Well, our brother-in-law Russ knows a ton about cars so Dallin took the car over there on Saturday and they worked on it together for almost 5 hours. They fixed almost everything on the list (and did a few other things too) for a total of only $165! I guess they went and bought the new motor mount for $94 (and took about 20 minutes to replace the broken one), so we saved $146 just on that one thing alone! It was awesome of Russ to help, and Dallin thought he was so cool for getting all dirty/greasy and fixing the car. I was definitely proud of him for learning how to do that stuff, and especially for getting our car to pass inspection. :)
