Finding an Honest Mechanic in MilwaukeeI grew up here in Milwaukee and at the age of 16 purchased my first used car. At the age of 17 I got my first lesson in Automobile Repair 101. I was ripped off, and that’s putting it mildly, charged for replacing parts that weren’t broken and for more hours than it took to make the repairs. I found this out from my boyfriend, who had a friend that worked at the garage I had taken my car to, and I was furious. I didn’t know how to fight this situation, so I let it go. | |

It’s Like Pulling Teeth Here in MilwaukeeRemember what it was like growing up here in Milwaukee when Mom or Dad told you it was time for a trip to the dentist? Oh yeah! There was a lot of complaining and even some kicking and screaming going on! Kids visiting a dentist for the first time today don’t share the same unhealthy fears many of us have about this particular profession. Many of the services and procedures they use today don’t compare at all to what I remember. Most of us, while growing up, didn’t have choices like nitrous oxide, heating pads, and even choices of music we’d like to listen to, making us more comfortable while being worked on. Some dentists today even use dental lasers as alternatives to dental tools such as the tooth drills and scalpels that I remember so well. | |
