Now I have to be careful. The last time I had brake pads and rotors replaced on a car, it was totaled while parked a few weeks later. I’d also just had a major service performed, so I was out of a car and out of the money for the service. Luckily, the insurance payout was fair, but it still sucked having to eat the loss of the payments made towards the loan that weren’t reimbursed because of vehicle value depreciation.
This time, I didn’t wash the car or fill the gas tank, so I should be ok.
Yes, I’m feeling a little paranoid. And superstitious.
