My car heard me thinking about how I would like a reason to talk to the cute guy at the auto shop. She decided to be 'helpful'. Gee, thanks, Salva.
Anyway, Monday. Car starts hiccuping and jerking as I am driving. Bad. So, I reroute to the auto shop, where the guy who's been kept busy keeping my cars going comes out to take a look at it. After exchanging a bit of information about what's wrong, he suggests a quick fix, and then gives me a ride to my place when I prefer not to wait around (it's about a mile, and totally walkable, except I had Not_Walking shoes on). Then came back an hour later to grab me, so I could give them money.
And I screwed up my courage, and as we were getting out of the car, I said "You know, you should call me sometime, NOT business related." He doesn't respond in an unquestionably positive way, so I change the subject back to the car.
Thursday, she starts it up again. I call, ask if I should be having them look at it, or just noting it and going on with my day. He offers to come over after work, and "we can go for a drive".
Okay, either you're interested, or you're *REALLY* going above and beyond with this customer service thing.
Drive around for a bit, determine what he thinks the problem is, he offers to pick up the part, and come by Sunday (today) to install it.
I'm totally lost at this point.
So, today. He comes by, doesn't knock on the door, just pops the hood on my car and gets to work. It took him seriously like 10 minutes to do, and I wouldn't have known he was there if I hadn't been watching for him.
He refused a cup of coffee, told me to give him a call tomorrow and let him know how it was going, and then took off.
*headdesk*
OK, am I just putting on my Egyptian Crown, or is anyone else seeing mixed messages here?
No? Just me then? Ah.
