But I know enough to recognise when my car is not acting right. But since most service techs will assume that I do not know anything, I will ask my husband for the correct technical car words to use when bringing my car in for repair..so it will at least appear I know what I am talking about. Does this make me needy? I do not think so, just smart enough to know what I need to do to at least sound like I know what I am talking about.
I think you are wrong in your thinking. Tits and a tight shirt are the best solution to a car problem. Never show up to a repair shop looking like shit. If that isn't an option, make your husband go. They won't try to bullshit your husband.
I have a good mechanic whom I trust. I don't pretend I know how to do everything myself, I just find decent people to hire when I do need help. Half of the men nowadays don't know how to fix cars, either.
