I want to share a story, of what happened to me the other day. My car had been acting up for days. Since I have a long commute to and from work I wanted to make sure that my car was looked at. I brought it to the shop and of course they informed me of the problem with the car. It would cost around 350 bucks. that was fine i thought. I could write a check and it wont clear until my husband got paid. When the car was fixed I had to make my payment of course. Well it turns out the could not accept a check from me. Code 3 I am told.
