Letting the Mechanic know his Help Was Appreciated . . . Pay it Forward
I recently had to take my car to the service center in town because I noticed a puddle of water on the mat on the passenger side of the car. My thoughts were of a leaky window seal or a broken air conditioner, neither of which would be pleasant.
The mechanics looked at the seal from the outside then pulled the car onto the lift and sent it up. With a piece of wire in hand, he went under the car, looked around for a few minutes, and started to send the wire up. Within seconds he was rewarded with a water dousing.
Evidently something had clogged the discharge hose of the air conditioner, and when he stuck the wire up it freed the hose and he received a little cold water shower.
As I have an account with them, I thought they would send me my bill. When I didn't get the bill, I made a call and asked for it for which my response was just that the time was just an acknowledgment of friendship.
I dropped by the office a couple of days later with a party platter of cold cuts, and some of my wife's home made brownies, shortly before lunch. As I handed them to the owner, I just said, that it was just an acknowledgment of friendship, and left.
