jwmbishop Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I just stepped out of the office for a cigarette - yea I know bad habit - and saw a car on jack stands in my parking lot. This is strange as all we have here is us, a restaraunt and a tanning salon - nothing automotive. As I and my crew work dilligently to keep the lot clean and well maintain I was concerned as this is just not really acceptable. Apparently the 75 caprice lost it's starter and the owner had a friend give a ride to the parts store for parts and small tools to replace it - auto so no bump start. Okay I understand crisis and can't say much - but in this case had to go with it cuz I am just SO impressed with the owner doing the work. A 19 year old GIRL - not doing by choice but by necessity - step by step from the chilton book! Even my own daughter is one that would bat the eyelashes and find someone to do for her - and she has been around cars and knows ten time more than a lot of her male friends in the same age group!

jwmbishop Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I would have (I have totaled a few clothes helping at the side of the road - even bought a tire for one gal and her folks brought me all their business - ended up as an awesome client) - but we gave the staff the day off and my partner did not come in until noon leaving me running 6 phone lines in a district office by myself (thank God for headsets). By the time I was able she was done - she did pop in and let me know she was done and I could tell how proud she was when it fired up!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
