My emergency room story for those wondering. I was wearing work gloves as I was changing the transaxle fluid in my daughters 2012 Sienna. The drain plug was very tight so I bared down on it and it let loose...driving my left hand down into the concrete floor. It hurt but I just shook it off and finished the job (and the rear differential fluid change). When I removed the glove, I noticed my ring finger was getting swollen so I tried removing the wedding ring....nope, not even close. Kept it in ice water most of the night, hoping it would get better but woke up the next day and the finger was a scary reddish-blue color. Went to ER and they said they had to cut it off. "My finger or the ring?" Thankfully, the ring and they have pretty cool tool for that. (Looks like a Drummel) I still need to bring the ring to my jeweler to get it re-welded together.

I had a good experience, many years ago, from our local mechanics at Christian Brothers Automotive. My wife's Corolla had a loud screeching noise from one of the front wheels. I brought it over and they looked at it and said, "She just had a small pebble stuck in the caliber so we removed it and it's fine, pads look good, no charge" I was speechless and have gone there ever since with anything I can't handle.

@mrs.carcarenut8959 I've seen those! Our worship leader, Jon Egan, has a ring tattoo which is also a neat idea. (But I don't like needles so nope.)

@mjuberian Never!! I’m hesitant to get the free maintenance at the dealer when I buy a new Toyota (I got a 21 Prius earlier this year and before that the last new one was 2008!)
