Last Saturday my girlfriend had a strange rattling noise in her car every time she accelerated. We were about to go on a weekend trip to the beach and thought we'd encountered a severe issue with the engine that would delay our plans. Tyreworks was the closest garage we knew so we desperately turned around the corner and parked our care straight in front.
The mechanic (I didn't catch his name) reassured us that the noise was just the rattling of a piece of debris which had lodged its way into the tire. He was right. Within 10 minutes, he removed the tire, found a small rock, discarded it immediately and put our minds at ease. We insisted, but he said he didn't want to seek payment for such a minor issue.
We don't know a whole lot about cars, but I only wish the world were full of more people like this mechanic. Due to his efficiency, honesty and integrity I will bring the car here every time we experience an issue with it. read more
