A + Mechanical Service !

You ever have one of those days that you makes you believe that someone is truly out to get you? You know, the second you step foot out of bed, your already in trouble. Well this morning I woke up in hell (aka Sandy Springs) and realized that my break pads in my car lost pressure. To make matters worse, I realized this WHILE I was driving on the free way at sixty miles-per-hour. Thoughts of bills I had not yet paid combined with what my college loan would be adding up to popped into my head, ....and now this? I began calling various mechanics local to where I live and every mechanic I spoke to said that I needed a new master cylinder---then they quoted me a price between $400-$500. My heart began to race and I thought I was going to have a panic attack. I chain smoked from one cigarette to the next, then I called the last number on my list. "Hello, this is David. Thank you for calling Tires-Plus....how can I help you?" His tone of voice for whatever reason.....calmed me down. I explained to him that I had lost pressure in my brakes and that I was a college student. He replied by telling me that the best thing to do would be to just bring in it and that he doubted that I needed a new master cylinder because repairs such as those were rare. Long story short, I had a hole in one of the brake lines. He quoted me a price of 2 hundred and something and then I asked him if I really needed to replace 2 when all I needed was one. He then said, "Hold on,...lemme check if the other ones are okay. Be right back." When he returned, he said that one repair for a single line would be around 140. I said that would be fine. He followed that with a "I don't want your money....I want your service. A repeat customer is worth more in 10 trips than they are on 1." He then shared a story with me how he came to be hired. He had a repair, was quoted ridiculous prices, and when he went to TiresPlus..he found out what was really wrong and saved about 3 grand! Now he manages the location I went to. To anyone reading this who has any fear or confusion as to where to go and what mechanic to trust. Please let me recommend you to Tires-Plus, located on 665 Johnson Ferry road. Ask for David. Stop wasting time looking for a trustworthy mechanic....David is the only one in Atlanta in my opinion.
