汽车修理工—Auto Mechanic

（单词翻译）

>> My car was acting¹ up recently and wasn't running right, so I took it to a mechanic to have it checked. Everytime I tried to start the car, the engine would turn over for a second or two and then die. The mechanic pulled the car into his garage to look things over. The mechanic popped the hood², checked to see if all the hoses and belts were in working order, and then tested the car battery and battery cables. After taking a look at things for a few minutes and trying to get the car going, the mechanic diagnosed the problem as a bad alternator. He said he could fix the problem by replacing the alternator with a new ($130) or a rebuilt alternator ($80). Just diagnosing the problem cost $65, and the labor³ was $50. I asked the mechanic to go ahead and do the repairs, and he said that there was a 30-day warranty⁴ on parts and labor. Some mechanics might overcharge you for repairs, but the mechanic I go to is fair and does great work.
