Maintenance (Kiffiescope?)
Well, after that incident in Morristown in which I heard some really nasty noises come from Moonshine's underside last week, Dad and I scrambled to find a repair shop to get her back to rights.
Dad calls mechanic he knows #1--"Sorry, I've got a bunch of projects lined up. Be at least a couple weeks.'
Mechanic he knows #2--"I'm busy this weekend. Be out of town too."
I mentioned the place where we got Moonshine's new tires and Dad decides against that. So today he took Moonshine over towards Panther Creek...
New AAMCO shop!
MOONSHINE: Hey! Pull in here!
DAD: Okay, just a moment.
And so Dad tells them about the problems I'd had with the car, and the mechies look her over and get to working...
MECHIE: Two new front rotors! Reconditioned CV axle! And a new brake pad!
MOONSHINE: Eeee...
(Dad's in the lounge getting a cup of tea...)
MECHIE: Clean out and inspect the rear brakes!
MOONSHINE: Ohhhh...
(Dad's getting his shoes shined...)
MECHIE: New spark plugs and plug wiring!
MOONSHINE: Ahhh...
(Dad gets a back massage...)
Of course this takes all afternoon. Finally he gets back to Rather Manor and shows me the invoice.
DAD: 12 month guarantee on all the work.
ME: And you got $50 in discounts!?
He always manages to find good customer service. I'll have to take Moonshine for a test drive overmorrow.
