Dear Hopkinsvillians - next time you need a car, go see David at Grace Auto Sales…read more
Let's set our wayback machines to 3rd week of July. Our 1999 Chevy Venture van finally gave up the ghost and we decided to buy a car from this army family in Oak Grove. We spent $1300.00 on what proved to be a total wreck! (Caveat Emptor, right?) So here we are stuck with two vehicles that only marginally work, and desperately in need of a car to get my dear wife to and from work.
We happened to drive by Grace Auto Sales and saw this lovely 2010 Honda Odyssey - burgundy colored, and asked Dave about it. Although a bit high for our budget he offered to take our two cars in trade and a small down payment. He did all the paperwork and the car was ours.
Yesterday, I noticed the battery light was flickering on and off while driving home. This morning, taking my wife to work, the battery light came on steady. After dropping her off I took the car to AutoZone to have the charging system checked. The salesman found no output from the alternator. We had the car for a little over a month and already, we had problems.
So I called up Dave and basically said, "What now?" He came and got me, charged up the battery and got me over to the dealership. Then he and I researched alternators. After finding one, he said - OK, $260.00 for the alternator with installation. You pay half, and I'll pay half. (The car had been sold to me "as is" - which is most the case with used cars.
Anyway, after getting the alternator in, he drove it over to the repair place they used and in about 3 hours we got the car back.
Not getting paid until Wednesday, Dave accepted a post dated check from me for the work.
David did all he could, in spite of him not, in reality, having to, and got us going again. He's a good man, and a fair man, and wants to keep your business.
I highly recommend Grace Auto Sales when you need a car.
Thanks again, Dave, for all your help.
