- The little guys are almost always more knowledgeable and cheaper than the big guys (Midas, Pep Boys, etc).
- The same guy (Sam) is usually there, meaning you don’t have to explain your problem to six different guys. And he remembers you.
- Sam makes his own rules, so he doesn’t need a manager’s approval to, say, top off your oil free of charge.
- They’re honest, so you pay what they quote the first time.
- They explain the problem in a down-to-earth manner instead of trying to make it sound complicated.
- Ah, they’re just nice guys. We want to help them out.
Take your busted ride there, they’ll do ya proud.
