i drive a 15 year old car and with the horror stories i've heard about parts and chips for newer cars being unavailable for months or more, i decided i needed to class up in my mechanic from the far less prestigious carwash i usually get cheaper work from, because i want to make this baby go to 300k or more. i do have a history with these guys from 15 years ago when i had brought in a newly purchased, pre-owned 2004 pt cruiser twice in 3 weeks. one of the workers told me they can do the work, but that my pre-owned car was still under warranty. i was young and stupid then and had never thought about the warranty, and i have NEVER forgotten the feeling of that kind of honesty from a business in a trade that has a pretty bad reputation for it. 15 years and 5 cars go by, and i'm finally in a place where i can afford good work, so i made my big comeback, this time with a 2007 pt cruiser (HEY. they're good cars, ok??). the two employees i had the pleasure of communicating with are david and nancy. they were more than friendly and extremely patient with me. and to the people who got my car, aka "the tub" back on the road, i am so grateful for how quickly the work was done and for making it run smoother than it has in the 4 years i've owned it.
