I just have to say, Chris and I LOVE our mechanic. (Not just 'cause he's family either). First of all, he found us our car and got us a great deal. If you've ever bought a car from a dealership you will recall the hours of haggling over the price, the extra costs they throw in somewhere and all the other headache of buying a new car. We've done it a lot (as you know) and we SOOO hate it. But buying our car form Dirk was awesome. We told him what we wanted and how much we wanted to spend and he found us a car (in our first choice color) within a few days. All we had to do was show up, sign a few papers and within half and hour we were on our way with our new car. You just don't get that anywhere else. Plus, it's really hard to know if a mechanic is being honest with you about what your car needs or if they are over charging you. Chris and i know NOTHING about cars, but that's ok, because we have Dirk! You should all be so lucky.

Yesterday we took our Envoy in to be inspected, have new tires put on and an oil change. Chris took the car in on his way to work and Dirk gave him a car to drive to work. How's that for service. Dirk wasn't there on Chris' way home, so I called this morning to pay him. Our car was in desperate need of new tires, you didn't have to look very close to tell. Chris found a good deal on tires online and then dirk put them on for us. This morning he told me that the rear passenger side tire was a miracle. Apparently tires have metal rods in them to help them stay strong, they also have some mesh cloth after the metal that give them a little more strength. Well, apparently, the aforementioned tire had a chunk missing, he said about the size of a football. He said it looked like someone had taken a grinder to the metal rods and I was essentially driving around on mesh cloth. He said it was amazing that it hadn't blown out. Then he said, "You guys sure must be paying your tithing!" Which I so appreciated...because does your mechanic remind you that the Lord is looking out for you and blessing you for doing the best you can?

Seriously, we LOVE our mechanic!
