Fast and Fair

If you have an old car like me (and it isn’t a classic car but something you’ve had since high school, your first car) and you are one of those guys who no matter how often someone tells you to get a new car, for whatever reason you just won’t and will keep fixing it, then like me you need to find a mechanic like Jorge.
There are always guys there hanging out like its a barber shop who seem to be there every day watching Jorge work on their car or work on their own car too if there are things they can do. Like me even if he tells you to give up and just get a new car, they won’t. They are loyal and when you are loyal you don’t just give up on things.
So I know him fairly well now and like the name implies he always gives me a fast and fair deal. I brought him the dash cluster I got from the wrecking shop and he installed it. We ended up having to mix and match things from both clusters to get it to work right.
I know this isn’t the last time I will see him. I figure I will see him fairly often but going there isn’t one of those impersonal deals like where you go to a shop and want to leave as soon as possible. He remembers you car, he remembers everything he did to you car and it’s one of those places you can just hang out even if you don’t have anything major to fix on your car. If my car was a person he would need a series of treatments, so this would be like the ornery family doctor who yells at his dogs but takes good care of you.
I drank lemonade his wife brought me, played with his dogs, talked to the other guys there, and told him all the little things wrong with my car. There’s a few things wrong with it now but we only worked on one of those things today. So I already know I will see him soon.
If your car is old it makes no sense to pay new car prices if not more so going back to him for all the little squeaks and noises doesn’t become a big deal. Go there, chill, and relax.
