Our family was so excited to take a trip to Utah this summer. It’ was definitely a loooooong drive- at least 20 hours each way- but so worth it!! We drove our Yukon. It’s a 2004, so before leaving we got a complete tune up. The brakes were fine so we weren’t in need of a brake job. Thankfully it is easy to find a Dallas auto repair shop thanks to sites like repairpal.com. It’s so important to make sure the car is in great “shape” before taking a long trip. W had the belts changed and spark plugs, etc… to make sure it was ready to go. I love my Yukon and I am so thankful to have that much room for our big family. And it has so much power- kinda like an Chevrolet Silverado. I LOOOOOVE having that power. I love to merge on the highway and leave slow cars in the dust. haha Driving 20+ hours doesn’t sound 1/2 bad with my car.
Please view my disclosure.
Our Yukon was finished last week and what a thrill that was! It’s hard to be a family of 7 with only a 5 seater car to use. It took a little longer to fix because they were having trouble finding a new running board. They ended up changing both sides to make them match. They used parts when possible to lower the cost. (I’m sooo glad we were needing Ferrari parts or something like that!!) We also got a discount on our deductible, which was super nice. Thankfully I was able to pay for the rest of it with money I had earned at a Mary Kay party the week before, yo!
