Serious question. I only have the one car. I know there are people with more money than sense that have more cars than they can actually drive at a time, and that there are couples who may or may not be able to drive their SO to the mechanic. But how can they _assumef that I can even afford a cab, well Uber these days, when I’m about to have them hundreds of dollars getting my busted-ass, POS car fixed?

    Because that’s what 90% of their clients do.

    Why does a realtor/bank make you put your address on the application to buy a house? If you’re buying a home, why would they assume you already have one?

    Honestly, I don’t think they “assume” that you’ll do anything other than give them a car to work on and pick it up and pay when they are done. Whatever happens before, after and in between, isn’t their problem.

      OP is looking for Jim Bob’s Auto Repair & Adult Daycare

      Clearly an overlooked business model
