Pumps' Perplexities

One of the real treasures of life, often missed by most, is having
a good honest, trustworthy, auto mechanic...

The Service Departments of auto dealerships are there to add
to the profit "bottom line" of the dealer...Your local muffler and
brake "chain" operators have quotas and annual sales projections
to meet, with District Managers pushing the need for "add-on"
sales...

But, that little mechanic, on the corner, in his little old shop who
is trying to feed his family and employees, is worth his weight in
gold...Yep, he does not have any discounts or deals...He does not
print sales coupons...His hands are dirty and his floor may have
too much old "quick dry" on it but get yourself dirty to and
hug him...

He may charge a little more one week but there is always the
quick "freebie" the next...Be his friend because I am afrain that
he and his kind may be a dying breed...Pumps
