I had a lot of car-related bills piling up this month.
Not long ago I had tinting done on the windows as the recent heatwave was threatening to burn my skin through the glass.
My car which has served me well over a decade finally had its first tint, which was an unnecessary “investment” (of RM400) until now.
And then the compressor broke down, and to quote the mechanic “The weather is so hot now, compressor working harder and yours is old so that’s about the end of its lifespan.”
As I grimly forked out RM650 he said gently to me “Miss, your 2 front tyres are bald.”
I glared at him in dismay, but for the sake of SAFETY, I changed the tyres immediately the next day, costing RM300 which adds up to a total of approximately RM1400 for car repairs this month alone.
