Maybe people have to rent a car because their own broke down and the mechanic can’t get parts
Nothing new on car lots to buy
Only thing out there are overpriced used cars and >$3000 junkers
We rented a car earlier this year when we went to DC. Waited two hours for the rental at Reagan and it had just been returned and cleaned before they gave it to me. Was an older model with about 41k miles on it but it got us around.
My SIL had that problem, hard to find a rental and the repair company said it will be awhile before they can get the parts. If the insurance company totals his car, he is SOL.
Yep, that happened to us. My hubs car needed some parts that were on back order, and he wanted to drive to a town about 4 hours away - but I didn’t want him to take MY car (LOL), so he had to rent one for that trip.
Three months later, and the parts just came in. For a Honda. Exhaust. Those are usually a two day wait, or a week if you want OEM. We couldn’t even get OEM, because no one knows how long those are on back order, but probably longer than after-market. This has been such a pain.
My mechanic said he’s even having trouble getting tires.
