I had my Chevy Volt towed to them, and without telling me that this was the extent of what they did to evaluate and diagnose the car, they just hooked the car up an OBD reader (which "reads" the codes from a car's computer") and then told me my electric battery was dead and needed to be replaced (which costs at least $6-7k) and charged me $115 for their expert diagnosis. I am by no means a mechanic, just a curious and logical person who didn't understand why they were saying it was the hybrid battery when the hybrid battery is under the middle section of the car, and the coolant fluid was pouring out from underneath the very front of the car. They never told me they didn't do a physical inspection of the vehicle, even though I gave them (via text and phone) plenty of information about how the car was acting, the leaking fluid, and the empty battery coolant reservoir, regardless of me pouring full bottles of fresh coolant into it. They charged me $115 for this "diagnostic" and weeks of extreme stress, since I initially trusted them and believed that my hybrid battery was DEAD. I eventually decided I should double-check their claim before rolling my car off a cliff, and learned from Google that what had likely happened was that a rock or something went through my grille and damaged my battery radiator, so the car wouldn't hold the battery coolant it needs. It would just leak out like a sieve from where the rock punctured it. I called and asked for a refund of the $115 "diagnostic fee," and was told by Mark that he explained all this when he saw me (I literally never met him; my Volt was towed in and towed out without my presence), then he changed his story and said that it was on the paperwork they gave me when I picked up the car (nope, see above), and then changed the story again, saying the paperwork was left in the car (nope, nothing was in the car). I mean, if you don't recall what actually happened, don't just make stuff up. My lord. Then he said he'd tell the owner and someone would get back to me about my request for a refund. Guess who never called... Anyone. To charge $115 to plug in an OBD reader (this takes LESS THAN 5 MINUTES), and meanwhile not read the notes -- if any were even taken during the phone calls I had with the shop telling them all the details of the car's break down -- or read my texts also giving the information that would've made it clear that they should, idk, maybe check the thing where the coolant goes or the thing the coolant runs through... And then after that shakedown, give me a wrong answer, cause me all this grief, and then be defensive about it... Bad service. Bad behavior. Bad communication. Bad business.

The Carpenter's Boat Shop offers lovely traditional wooden boats, classes, and apprenticeships in…read moreboatbuilding and woodworking - plus tea at ten every weekday morning. Most of all, it provides a quiet space out of the turbulence of life where you can breathe clear down to the center of your being. During the summer the Boat Shop offers a variety of week-long classes. The one I took guided us through the steps of building a Monhegan skiff, a small wooden rowing boat used by that island's lobstermen to get from the beach to their fishing boats. The traditional design is still preferred by many of them for its light weight and toughness. In the course of five days, our six neophyte boatbuilders (granted, one was a professional woodworker) and two instructors brought the skiff to about 90% of completion. The fully equipped shop provided us with materials, templates, and both hand and power tools; the instructors also taught us about different woods, knots, and the terminology of boats and woodcraft. Some of us boarded for the week in the Boat Shop's guest accommodations in a renovated farmhouse, enjoying private rooms and delicious family-style meals at a very reasonable cost. The day includes plenty of "down time" for reflection, and each meal ends with a reading to provide some nourishment for the mind as well as the body. For apprentices, sharing in the tasks and practices of common housekeeping builds a supportive community that alums describe with great affection. During daylight hours, visitors can tour the shops and display areas, and, of course, shop for traditional wooden rowboats, sailboats, and canoes - plus an original design of Adirondack chairs. The Boat Shop offers repair services for wooden small craft as well. I came to the Boat Shop to re-center and renew myself, to reconnect my head and hands. I found that and more, in just a week. I can only imagine the worth of a nine month apprenticeship. But if you haven't got that much time, there's always tea at 10:00 am. Or, of course, you can buy yourself a lovely boat.
