I picked up my 1989 Saab from Paul's Foreign Auto today. I felt like one lucky person. Paul's is two and a half blocks from my house. They work on old Saabs, and they work on new Toyotas, like the 2002 Camry that my man drives. They do their work on time, and charge reasonably. I had expected to pay $278 today for a rebuilt battery platform and a new battery after I damaged my old battery by completely depleting it. An accident, of course. Julie called, though, to say "Come get it. It's $178.05." The old battery platform was down inside the car somewhere, so they didn't have to use the the expensive new part. They rebuilt what they had. I bought a seven year battery for my 17 year old car. Why not? Paul's integrity, proximity, and care means I can keep driving my old, old car in town, and keep doing occasional repairs, for a long, long time to come. I hope!
Oh yse. And when I got in the car, two soft peppermints lay in the seat, along with a card offering $10 off my next visit, and $10 off to any person whom I recommend to them. A nice touch - unusual for Paul's, and quite tasty.
