We use El Presente in order to refer to a future action.

Are there any circumstances other than the requirement for a future event or time reference to be stated when the present tense is used to refer to an unstated future time or date? Por ejemplo:

The mechanic says that the car is broken so I'm fixing it.

El mecánico dice que el coche está averiado y por eso lo arreglo.

                                                   o

El mecánico dice que el coche está averiado y por eso lo arreglaré.

Which is correct, more commonly used or preferred?
