5 /5 Karen Shrock-Jones: I have had a good to mechanic for the last two years. When our serpentine belt failed last week, he came over, but he needed to call in someone else to help. After numerous promises and times we arranged for him come over the next few days, the guy was a no show each time.
By Monday night, I was desperate to get the car running after yet another no show. My husband found John on Google. He was only a few blocks from us. Although he was closed up for the night, i sent a long-winded text message explaining our need. To my surprise, John replied, gave us a good price, and offered to come over that night.
What a lifesaver! My husband had physical therapy schedule the next day and an appointment the day after with a neurologist for testing that we had to keep.
John arrived on time despite the hour and stayed until the job was done working by the light of his head mounted flashlight.
My husband was able to take his PT session after having to skip an appointment the previous week, and we made it to the neurology appointment yesterday. He suffers with chronic debilitating pain from back issues. The testing cleared the was for diagnosis and a treatment plan for greatly reducing that pain so that he can live life again.
Ive found a new go-to mechanic that I can rely upon. Were retired and on a very limited fixed income. Having someone dependable just a call away to keep our 15 year old car working is a true godsend. Next time we should be able to make reasonable nonemergent arrangements for him to service our 2010 all-paid-for Ford Focus.
What a blessing!
