Serious question. I only have the one car. I know there are people with more money than sense that have more cars than they can actually drive at a time, and that there are couples who may or may not be able to drive their SO to the mechanic. But how can they _assumef that I can even afford a cab, well Uber these days, when I’m about to have them hundreds of dollars getting my busted-ass, POS car fixed?
What’s the alternative if it’s going to take hours/days to fix your car? It’s not so much of an assumption as it is a necessity. Some dealerships have loaner cars but that also comes with wildly inflated repair costs.
I can only assume OP wants the shop to taxi them home. maybe back when the car is ready?
Shops fix cars, driving customers is an added value I wouldn’t expect from most car shops. More so, if you committed to pay a few hundreds for a repair when it’s ready, it’s reasonable to assume you have enough money to go home on your own. A bicycle is always an option, though.
My repair shop has several loaner cars. But loaner is a real strong word there. They’re about the junkiest piles of rust you can drive lol. But they get you home and back to the shop! And they’re pretty dang cheap too.
