We had a gentlemen come in today asking about a tune up, and oil change. Mentioned his Check engine light came on after drivin in some water on his way out of Loiusianna Sunday morning

We are doing a generic scan and clearing his codes for him and a no charge oil change. The least we can do.

This guy is really nice, and seems pretty stressed out about everything. He has lost his house and is staying with reletives in the Chicago burbs.

That was a great gesture of kindness John. Small things like that happening all over the country is what is helping these people make the best of what they have to live with right now.

Hearing it 1st person from someone that was there is really something else. He was saying how no one person/orginaztion should be blamed for everything. This I totally agree on. He as very soft spoken and well dressed Afro American. Overhearing some of his cell conversations from our waiting room almost brought a tear to this grown mans eye.
