Latest experience with strangers humanity.

Just as dusk was settling in I went up to a grocery store not far from here. I was pretty close to the store when my car started making a strange sound in the rear wheels area. I listened for a few seconds and then it stopped. When I pulled into the parking lot I looked at my tires and saw one had gone flat! I popped the trunk and got the spare out and proceded to change the flat. In the 15-20 minutes it took to change the flat, four different people stopped to ask me if they could help me! I said I had I had it and thanked them for asking. Long story short, my faith in humanity is restored. 🌞

My air pressure sensor light has been on for weeks on my 2012 RAV4. I tried adjusting the pressure in the tires but it stayed on. Thought the tpms sensor batteries were dead so got some new ones on Amazon for $46. Took them to the Carx place near me. The weren't busy at all. The head guy;Roger , who I've known for years, warned me that they might not work. So i went over to toyota to get some of their sensors. They want over $400 just for the OEM sensors! Went back to Carx and Roger said, "Lets see if we can just clear the fault." So he hooked up his panel under the dash and tried clearing it. Nope, fault kept coming back but the sensors did not reas as bad. Then it dawned on me. The spare! We took off the cover and it was at 22 psi. Should be at 32 psi. Filled it up and the light went off. Said it was no charge but i gave him $40 anyway. Took the unopened tps sensors back to whole foods and returned them to Amazon. Came out of it all $6 ahead, a happy mechanic, and with a good story.
