Taking a Car to a Garage for Repairs
My car is making a strange noise. When can you look at it?
I called for an appointment to get my car fixed.
I took my car in to the garage...
...and the mechanic diagnosed the problem.
I asked him for an estimate of the cost.
"How much will it cost to fix?" "Probably about two fifty."
He worked on the engine.
"It's ready." "Is it ready yet?"
When I came back later to pick up the car,...
...he gave me the bill for the repair.
"That'll be two ninety-four for parts and labor." "$294! Ouch!"
