Last Thursday, July 7, I was up in Wake Forest
and my car lost all its coolant. Trying to add it, whatever I
poured in the reservoir wound up on the ground. I live in Raleigh,
had neglected to renew my AAA membership (the first time I would
have used it in years, dumb, dumb), and didn't have a regular
mechanic.
Now, I work very near the
Firestone dealer on Wake Forest Rd (

here) and know a few of the mechanics there (they stop in
often), and decided to have them work on the car.
Paul (last name Morton?) is the manager and Will was my mechanic
for this job. They fixed my car and got me on the road the next
day, Friday, July 8.
In the meantime, I needed a rental, and had no experience with
different local agencies or franchises. A supervisor had a few
suggestions, and since
Enterprise picks
you up and had a competitive rate, I chose them and the
Glenwood Ave location. The fellow arrived at my home on time as
scheduled, brought me to the Glenwood Ave location and Jack
Gallagher there got me on the road quickly. I only needed the car
for a day, and when I returned it on Friday, they dropped me off at
the Firestone dealer.
I wanted to recognize these two local merchants for their honest,
fast work, and I recommend them to ohers if they're in the same
boat as I was.
