I said that fixing this panel was my priority and that later I would get other areas fixed and painted. Brian kindly advised against spending money on my 2005 Cadillac because the rust damage was too far gone.

He then gave me my car keys and said that there was "no charge". I was surprised and very happy. Wow! That's how you build a business. A couple of hours later I came back and gave Brian one of those big Costco chocolate cakes. Murray Dobbs
