I just checked in with the mechanic and learned that one of the parts needed for the axle repair is discontinued, so they need to create a custom part (hence the cost of the repair). But they ‘should’ be done by tomorrow evening. He was busy with a state trooper, so I didn’t push the issue, but when I get home in a couple of hours (I’m at a Starbucks), I am going to grill him.

So now, best case scenario has me pulling out Wednesday morning for a cannonball run to Montreal. So unhappy.
