DH and I usually just share his car...but that won't work anymore since his car seats 4 and we're about to be 5.</p> <p>If it's just an oil change, I typically stay at the dealer with the kids and look at pretty cars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-a-car-while-having-yours-serviced#post-1753535 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 16:49:41 +0000 mrs. bird 1753535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Brakes only take a day, and lots if brake places are open during the wk end if that's easier. </p> <p>I usually drop the car off &amp; borrow my mom's &amp; drop her off/pick her up from work or ask for a loaner. The only time ins has paid for my loaner was after an accident. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-a-car-while-having-yours-serviced#post-1753534 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 16:49:04 +0000 BeachMama 1753534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in this situation now. Luckily my parents were out of town for a few days so I borrowed theirs. I need a car, since my job involves driving around, so otherwise I'd either have to rent a car or somehow borrow hubbies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-a-car-while-having-yours-serviced#post-1753533 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 16:48:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1753533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: I called and asked, and they don't. We've never had to make repairs on our car that took more than a few hours!</p> <p>I'd consider going somewhere else, but this is a family friend's business who I know I can trust so I don't want to risk going somewhere else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-a-car-while-having-yours-serviced#post-1753531 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 16:46:49 +0000 sunny 1753531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does your autoshop offer a loaner? Or do they have dropoff/pickup service? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-for-a-car-while-having-yours-serviced#post-1753529 Fri, 11 Jul 2014 16:44:50 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1753529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You car needs some repairs, will be in the shop for a few days - do you rent a car? does your insurance cover a loaner? do the auto shop offer a loaner?</p> <p>I've been putting off getting the brakes fixed on my car for too long and I need to bring it in. But we rely on our one car so unless we rent a car, not sure what else we can do! </p>
