Best Auto Repair Shop for this situation

Hello all,

I hit a curb really really badly at a pretty decent speed yesterday. There was some bushes and stuff on the curb and I hit it, went over it, and reversed like an idiot. The tire went flat and I hit the bumper. However, bc of how low the bumper and car is I somehow punctured a hole in the oil plate and had oil leak EVERYWHERE. We had to tow it, it’s not drivable.

However, I don’t think the oil and subsequent potential engine problems will be handled by a auto bosh collision center. Do you all have recommendations where to go to get this type of damage fixed?? Or what to even do in this situation. Please help!!

Who wants to hit the casino?

Anybody down? I gotta get out this house for a little while one way or another and I’m feeling lucky-ish 😶

Edit-also I made a big bomb ass pot of chicken and sausage gumbo. Great for these cold desert nights 🍲

Roadrunner jerseys?

Hey Roadrunners fans!

Anybody know when they plan to do another live jersey auction at or after the game? Kiddo is a big fan or one of the players, and we missed it by $100 tonight. She was pretty bummed. We go the games on and off, so just wondering when next time will be. (We know they do the online auctions, too, but meeting the player would be a pretty big deal for her.)

Thanks!

Block fence recommendations

I'm getting a block fence installed soon and got quotes from 2 companies:

  • RJ Masonry Creations - Roberto Jimenez

And

-General Masonry - Pedro Torres (off thumbtack)

Has anyone had work done from either of these before and can vouch for them?

Please and thank you!

HSL

It seems like a lot of people do not like HSL myself included due to not taking care of the apartments we call home. Like is there anyway to do a class action law suit if we all joined together?

Runners club

Can you recommend any clubs or groups for runners, especially those who enjoy morning runs? Additionally, are there any suggestions on how to connect with other runners in the area? Preferably on North side.

Who to call for a kitten that needs help/rescue?

Hi! I’ve been feeding a colony of kittens with their mom here on Park near south lawn. When I parked, one of the baby kittens was on the opposite side of the road, so I stopped to see if it’d go back with mom, when it ran into my engine. I took it out, but when I did I noticed it was much thinner than the other babies, had eye discharge etc. I just moved from Phoenix and was familiar with rescues there, but I have no idea who to call about this baby, if anyone has any resources that’d be great.

Tohono o'Odham/ Westover swap meet reopening?

Drove by there this morning coming back from San Xavier. The piles of dirt and asphalt in the front lot have been smoothed out, and looked like at least one maintenance worker had a truck inside the fence. Anyone know if this means the swap meet will be starting up in the future? Or any other development. Thanks for any info.

Any other disabled Tucsonans experiencing trouble with Sun Van?

I'm 13 and autistic with synesthesia, schizophrenia and emotional dysregulation and I've been taking Sun Van to my special needs school for about a year now. Recently however Sun Van has been picking me up at 5:30 or 6 when my school doesn't start until 8:30 (I can't get off until the clock hits 8:30) and some drivers have severe attitudes with me whenever they arrive at my school before school starts and I have even been physically assaulted by a driver and when I complain to Sun Van about these drivers they either:

A. side with the driver

or B. never respond

I am also constantly getting picked up in the morning before my windows start and in the afternoon I usually have 2:30-3:00 pickup windows (except for fridays when we get out early) yet I'm usually not picked up until 3:30 or 4, one day even 5. I was wanting to see if anyone could share their experience/stories and if this is happening to them too as I feel like the only one.

Move Tucson

If you could move Tucson to another location, where would it be? Would it still have tacos and pizza? Would it be cold in the winter? Where could you go for groceries if the roads had more curves? Would the trees need more water? How would I get involved in such a venture?

Is there a hotter vs cooler side of Tucson?

Summers are fairly brutal anywhere in Tucson, but how do daytime and nighttime temperatures differ if you're in Marana vs Downtown vs Tanque Verde vs Oro Valley? Is one more comfortable than the other, or more likely to get rain showers?

Bonus question: and how do temps in the area feel compared to Phoenix?

Green Party helps Juan Ciscomani win US District 6 by siphoning 7k votes

A candidate that the state Green Party barely knows:"Athena Eastwood", who has now changed her name 3x. Not weird at all. She made no effort to campaign.

Since there are only 700 or so registered Green Party members in Pima County, that means about 6k votes were likely siphoned off from Dem candidate Engel, who is losing by less than 2k to milquetoast MAGA Ciscomani. Republicans have already said they'll open up more lands for mining and remove protections for several Western areas. Your backyard composting saved a few pounds of CO2 while your election choice will add 4 billion from Republican policies.

Community Water

I noticed on my bill two prices for water by the gallon.

Does anyone know why two different prices? I read everything I could find but no answer as to why some water is one price and the rest is charged at a higher rate.

Boring city?

What schools did you enjoy working at as a preschool teacher?

I currently work at a very high end school in Tucson I don’t want to reveal the name because these schools are very popular in Tucson. I am looking to work somewhere with an easier curriculum and less bullying from employees. I love this field I just think I am at the wrong school. Has anyone worked and enjoyed a preschool in Tucson I am looking to apply once the semester ends after holiday season. I have been told a few places to stay away from. I am Christian and would have no issue working at a Christian school.

What tree is this in Chiricahua Mountains?

https://preview.redd.it/ct0x4uksfwzd1.jpg?width=1800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2eaa62355a2a537f4d673377340063b0e155aacf

Can anyone help me identify this tree in the Chiricahua Mountains? I took this photo a couple of weeks ago along Forest Rd 42 near Onion Saddle at about 7000 ft. The leaves were just past peak, but still had a bright yellow color. Appreciate any insights!

Help??

I know coming on Reddit probably isn’t the best choice but I’m running low on options I’m currently 14 and home life is hard to say the least and money is always unstable and I don’t want to depend on my parents for that anymore I know there’s not much I can do being young but if anyone knows someone who needs babysitting or house cleaning?? Even getting paid under the table I won’t mind, I won’t argue whatever the work may be I just want to help out with my siblings and have some things to myself..

If you’re a water snob like me

I want to know what your water set up is. Looking at just ordering a service with the 5 gal jugs (like Sparkletts or something). Does anyone have recommendations for a water system or use a water service? About how much $ is upkeep?

Ever since I got pregnant early this year I could not drink the tap anymore and resorted to buying 1 gal jugs from circle ks or the grocery stores but now I’m trying to think of a better solution.
