Recommendations Lubbock mechanics who take payments?

2 Upvotes

My credit was trashed and is currently going through legal battles when it was compromised online. So in other words, I can’t finance a cup of coffee until all this clears up if it ever does.

I am needing some mechanic work and I just assume I’m gonna have to put away money until I can afford it unless there is a mechanic shop that helps with this kind of situation.

Honestly I was told to not run my credit for anything so I can’t even do that 3rd party credit some shops advertise. If anyone knows a shop that still does this like in the old days, please let me know.

Ask Lubbock Business ideas!!

2 Upvotes

**edited, I know I listed ideas, Im trying to find more that people don’t know about or something that someone could bring to Lubbock, like something for teens or kids!

I love Lubbock and hate that it receives sooo much hate but I get it, there really isn’t anything here, like yes we have Dave and busters now and rage rooms and stuff, but I want something more, I would love to open an indoor water park but you have to have a lot of funding, it feels like there are so many good ideas that could come here but cost way to much without a lot of donors.

what would your honest take or maybe list the businesses already doing this so we can get them known!

  • Date night- each weekend couples or friends could spend the night painting, or cooking, or pottery together just to get out and about
  • a mobile entertainment- a trailer where kids could play or do like video games
  • a place with Rock wall or rock climbing if funding permitted

or any ideas we could formulate to bring to Lubbock and bring in more revenue and just make it feel like home honestly!!

Can someone please help me locate a specific wall mural that says Lubbock😭 I drove by one a couple weeks ago and I can't for the life of me remember where it was (I've already tried retracing my steps). All the ones that come up on google aren't it, I can't even remember what it looks like but it was so pretty and it says Lubbock written out. I wanna say it's somewhere between Milwaukee and Slide

Ask Lubbock Anyone familiar with weddings at Mack Dick Pavilion in Palo Duro Canyon?

4 Upvotes

Has anyone here had a wedding or attended one at Mack Dick Pavilion in Palo Duro Canyon? My daughter is getting married there in Dec this year (and we live 8 hours away and haven't toured venu), and I’d love to see real wedding photos of the inside, kitchen/corridor area, porch at night, and different table/beverage setups. We already have the official floor plan and venue photos, so I’m mainly looking for firsthand experience with how people actually used the space. Thank you!

Soapbox A simple way to easily pick cheap Texas electricity plans

Post image
22 Upvotes

I found that shopping for the “best” electricity plan seems very tricky since Lubbock joined the deregulated energy market. I end up scrolling through lots of plans on Power To Choose, and half of them look cheap, however, some only hit the low rate if using a very specific amount of power.

So I built this: Texas Smart Power as a fun mini project so I can easily pick the right plan for myself. Gimmick plans like time of usage or bill credit have been filtered out for the peace of mind.

Site: https://texas-smart-power-app.vercel.app/

The plans are ranked based on the combination of
- Cheap price
- Stable rate across 500 1000 2000 kwh
- Flexibility (12 month term, low cancellation fee)
- % of renewable energy.
It pulls the data from Power To Choose daily.

Give it a try and hope it’s helpful!

The teenager on the left is about 50 seconds away from breaking into a SUV parked on the street in front of a house. He is wearing a glove on his left hand, so I bet he didn't leave any fingerprints anywhere. Faces not shown on Reddit to protect the guilty. LOL

(Title couldn't be corrected once the video was submitted on Reddit. Obviously the year is 2026 rather than 2016.)

Ask Lubbock Wrongly accused of hitting someone’s car in HEB parking lot

20 Upvotes

I was accused of hitting someone’s car in the Lubbock HEB parking lot on Oct 15. The person came into the store and took my picture and told she would call the cops. There was a car that suddenly backed up when I was going behind them with my son in the cart. Luckily we did not make contact but the lady accused me of hitting her car. Is there somehow I can file a report and try to get a video recording from the parking lot to protect myself? I am also worried that she may claim a false insurance.

Recommendations Anniversary ponderings

6 Upvotes

My wife and I will be married 39 years this month. We moved to Midland in 2024 for grandkids. We are looking for a one night trip to celebrate our anniversary. Neither of us are into drinking, don’t eat late (iykyk), and would like something to do within about a 2 hour radius of Midland for one night. Place to stay, place to get snacks/light meal, something fun…

We both enjoy the outdoors, but are not the most athletic. Any nice water areas? Ya, I know, West Texas and water don’t go together much, but thought I’d ask.

We were thinking of a one night stay in Big Spring at the historic Settles hotel, anything similar in Lubbock that might have history, some charm, and lend to an anniversary celebration?

Thanks for any tips on helping us to celebrate our 39th anniversary!
