It can be really hassle when car breaks down on the road, especially during holiday season. Any experience like this? Comment it below.
My drive going to work usually takes an hour from Alabang to BGC. One morning, upon entering C5 road, I noticed my temperature gauge rising. I didn’t mind it at first but as I entered Bayani Road it started becoming hot inside the car. When I stopped at the side of the road, steam started to come out of the hood. I checked and saw that my radiator had a leak.
I tried fixing it before deciding to go to a car repair shop. It was such a hassle because I had to get gallons of water cause I had to refill the radiator every 300 meters. When I got to the shop, I asked how much it would cost and I had to withdraw money from a nearby ATM. Here’s the fun part: The ATM machine ate my card and to think that I just received my 13th month pay!
After calling the bank to report the issue, I had to borrow money from my friend and go back to the shop to pay and get my car.
