I am a older woman with no mechanical abilities & physically disabled. I have always given my business to Auto Zone when I lived in Portland because they would help me 100%, even installing my air filter for me.
I had phoned NAPA after my nephew told me my windshield wiper fluid tubing was broken. I had a wedding to attend in McMinnville in 2 days & was very scared to drive without having it especially with an impending storm coming. I spoke on the phone with a Hispanic gentleman letting him know what I needed. He had told me they had the tubing & that when I came up he would probably have time to put it on.
The cashier & another Customer Service Rep both gave me a disbelieving & disapproving look when I mentioned his willingness to assist me with the installation. I worried that he could be reprimanded for helping me to that extent!
He is the person who made me feel welcome & made a very stressful situation easier for me & actually appeared concerned for my safety on the road. With the storm we had on Saturday I was nervous about the trees in the road but wasn't concerned when the large trucks passed & I was able to clear the mess from the windshield!
So, to that Customer Service Rep I want to say: "Thank You Sir!" I will not drive all the way to O.C.'s Auto Zone, when Napa does more than sell the store, He Represented NAPA perfectly! If I had it in my power, he would have gotten a raise! read more
