I have a great sports car that's wonderful to drive but has two problems: It's hard get in and out of and it's hard to find someone to work on it without charging an arm and a leg.
Mr. Paul runs a gas station, auto repair and an authorized Budget Truck Rental establishment. I've been past this location a million times but never have stopped.
I had the radiator on my car break early this year. That's right break. Who knew that they're making these things out of plastic for part of it.
One shop wanted twice the amount of money for labor than his shop did. I'm really glad that I went to him as I was planning on buying a used radiator from a salvage yard. He told me this is a common problem and a used one would do the same thing.
I never thought to bring a new container of antifreeze to replace what he was taking out. I thought he could reuse it as I had just replaced the coolant a few months earlier. But, he had to use new coolant and didn't even charge me extra for that.
Now, I sat there and waited while he replaced the part. Very nice man. He even gave me the remote to the TV.
This is what I would term not a chain type shop. That is, where everything is fancy and absolutely spotless. He's got a few old magazines, maybe a spider web or two and the look of what a mechanic's office used to be before everything got fancy and pricey.
So, if you don't mind a that this doesn't look like a cover off of a magazine, your pocket book will thank you. He does stand behind his work and I would have no hesitation to bring my vehciles back to him for service, if need be. read more
