Auto servicing for mums

I need to have my car working so that I can get the kids to school each day, to soccer practise and swimming training, and to all of those playdates. I don't have much spare time, and even when the kids are in school, I still have my toddler to look after. Luckily, my local car service place has a really good play corner set up so that we can have some fun while waiting for the car to be serviced. I almost wish we could go back just for a break some days! This blog is all about finding time to get the car serviced when you have young kids and a busy life.
