I Just Had To Tell Someone

Now I hope you don't mind, but today I'm going to stray away from the topic of HCG ... In fact, this story has nothing to do with weight loss or dieting at all.

Have you ever heard that when a person receives good service from a company or business they tell 1 or 2 people, but when they have a bad experience they tell about 10 or 20 people?

Well today I want to change those statistics around a bit by telling all of you about an awesome experience that I had with an automotive repair shop.

And the reason I think that my experience is so important to share is because auto shops and mechanics generally have a bad rap for being dishonest.

But after you hear my story you might think differently about one of those auto shops at least...

As some of you may or may not know, I am the internet assistant for BMW here in Salt Lake City Utah. And right across the street from my work there is an automotive repair shop called Big O Tires.

Well as I was driving to grab some lunch today, I noticed a big rattling sound coming from underneath my car. After hearing this noise a few times both my co-worker and I thought that it would be wise to have a mechanic take a look at it.

So that's exactly what I did. I took it right on over to Big O Tires and told them what was going on; then I went back to work.

A little less than an hour later they called me and told me that my car was fixed and that I could come back and pick it up. When I got there, before I had the opportunity to ask them what the problem was, they proceeded to tell me that a big rock was lodged up in between my exhaust pipe and the under carriage of my car.

They said that they simply removed the rock and the rattling noise went away. I was very happy to hear that it wasn't something major. Especially because they could have told me that my car was falling apart and that I would need some expensive part to fix it. But they didn't.

So after telling me that my car was fine and that I was free to go, I asked them how much I owed them ... This is when I got the shock of a lifetime, he told me that there was no charge!

Needless to say I was blown away. Not only is this place honest, but they didn't even charge me for figuring out the problem; however small it may have been.

So if any of you need a good honest repair shop to take your vehicle to in Salt Lake City, head on over to Big O Tires on 4800 S. State Street.

Important Note: I know that not all other mechanics are dishonest, because there are a lot of good ones out there. However, I think that we can all agree that a large number of them do overcharge the "crap" out people for car repairs!

Have you ever had a bad experience with a mechanic or automotive repair shop before?

As always, I would love to hear what you think - So please be sure to tell me your thoughts in a comment below.
