No, it's not an oxymoron, this week I actually met and worked with an honest mechanic. Call in the producers of Dateline for this special!
The short story...my car had been in and out of the shop for the past two weeks. The visit was triggered by a pesky check engine light. In this case the light was on for a reason...one that no matter the proposed solution did not seem to rectify the bigger issue. After days of repairs and hundreds of dollars invested the mechanic called me to say that he was stumped and could not fix my car. He recommended that I pick the car up at the end of the day. I went to the shop at the end of the day to pick up my drivable yet ill vehicle. Jimmy recommended that I contact a Chrysler dealer to work on the beast because he was stumped...he left all of the new parts in the car, asked me to call him when the dealer found a remedy because he would like to know how to fix it and handed me a check totaling the amount that I had spent on the car in the past two weeks. Can you believe it?
My friend Eric says I live a charmed life and must be part Irish because he had never heard of a mechanic willing to issue a refund for that much labor. Good thing I do and I am.
