Does your support network include a mechanic?

If you had asked me that question last week, I would have probably looked at you a bit sideways. But not after yesterday. For yesterday morning, when posed as a mild mannered carpool mom, I noticed that the driver's windshield wiper was not moving. (Not difficult to miss actually.) Oh it wanted to move. Its little joints flexing in time with its sister, who graciously wiped the passengers side.

Thankfully, it was not raining -- and I was employing the wipers to clear a bit of overnight frost. But there is a lot of rain in today's forecast. Clearing the calendar -- the wiper needed to be addressed.

One call to Dimidis and Sons: 508-788-1011. Despite being swamped, Craig, the owner said, Bring it down, leave it, and we will get to it, today.

"And by the way -- Craig, can you replace the bulb in the burned out headlight too?" Sure.

The garage was wall to wall cars -- which delights me for our mechanic. A busy mechanic is a happy mechanic. He stopped what he was doing to assess the situation and realizing it was just a lose bolt or nut, or some sort of connector, got the air wrench and tightened it up. He then replaced the bulb and checked the oil. Knowing that we recently returned from a long roadtrip and that our Big Rig tends to burn a quart here and there. She was down; he added a quart.

Craig's consistent prompt excellent service is why we go there, and why we recommend Dimidis and Sons time and time again. As a matter of fact when we replaced our old Toyota truck, we only considered makes of cars serviced at Dimidis and Sons.

We've never been disappointed.

One of life's most important secrets. Find an honest mechanic and make them feel like Royalty, because they are.
