It was 4:30 PM
It was 4:30 PM when I pulled up to the driveway at Neptune Automotive. I had already spent the past 45 min pulling in and out of stations trying to get an inspection. If a station is qualified and credentialed to do inspections, then they should not tell you -- can't do that today... come tomorrow, next week, I'm too busy now ...
At Neptune's driveway, I asked the worker... can you do an inspection now ... He said, go into the office and I did. I asked and was told YES. The owner went outside with me to my car and he pulled the car into the garage. He asked a few questions about the vehicle and 20 minutes later a new inspection sticker was placed in the windshield and all the scrapings from the older sticker were totally cleaned from the dash and window itself.
I asked the owner his name, he said it was Simon. His wife was working the cash register. You know, I felt like I knew this guy for a life time. He was just so accommodating, so pleasant, so low key yet to the point.
I'm going to keep this shop in mind for other stuff as it arises. read more
