I finally get it, do you?
Buy products and services from people you know.
The walk to school this morning finally closed the deal after almost 7 years.
I always took my car to the dealership when it needed servicing until today. My car needed a new light bulb for the front headlight, a quick and easy job. After 6 years and 160,000 km price and service are the driving factors, not dealership bells and whistles.
Solution
Claude Merante at Super Shell Auto Service
- He lives next door to one of our friends.
- His daughter goes to the same school as my boys.
- His daughter also went to the same daycare 6 years ago.
- This morning I discovered he knows a lot about Subaru Forester.
Service
On my way home from lunch I stopped by Claude’s shop, 30 minutes later I was driving home with a headlight that worked. ( I had to wait 10 minutes because he was out getting a part for another job.)
Price
$20.00 including a $5.00 tip. You tip the waiter and your barber / stylist, so why not mechanic.
What do you need? and Who do you know?
If you need a good mechanic stop by and see Claude or may be call ahead if you are in a hurray.
