Genes Automotive Repair

I know you always hear about the bad mechanics out there, but >here's a good story. > >I was driving on Interstate 25 through Wyoming yesterday, and at >Glendo, my car decided to just give up. Glendo, Wyoming might >have a population of about 200 on a busy day, so I knew I was in >for a real challenge. And to make things a little more >interesting, you have to understand that I was also a female >traveling alone. > >I used my cell phone to call for help (that is, after I >determined that I wasn't going to drive anyway), and after the >Wyoming Highway Patrol failed to show up, a woman went into >Glendo and got help for me. After a few minutes, 3 guys came by >and towed my car to Gene's Automotive Repair in Glendo. Gene's >consists of Gene, his dad, and 2 dogs, who are very willing to >help Gene any way they can. They determined that the timing >belt was broken, and in order to replace it, Gene's dad drove to >Douglas, Wyoming to get the part! (yup, you guessed it...Glendo >has a great mechanic, they just don't have a parts store in >town. When they need a part they either have to drive 30 miles >north or 30 miles south.) > >Gene, Gene's dad, and the dogs worked very hard to get me back >on the road. They dropped what they were doing and for 2 hours >spent all of their time and energy on fixing my car so I could >get where I was going. I don't think I have ever been treated >so well by 2 great mechanics. This is a great repair shop, and >deserves to be mentioned in your broadcast. The car is running >great, and I got where I needed to go. > >Please mention these guys - their service and workmanship was >really great, and I doubt very many people would know about >them. Thanks, Susan in Gering. >
