It's not very often I would find myself taking the time to review a business for their service.	
                I was rather surprised and feel that it is even a rarer occasion however, 	
              ( probably just by plain old good luck),  that I was pointed in the direction of Brooks Automotive by a local, but friendly competitor of theirs.	
              I was rather dumbstruck at the way the local competing businesses stuck together in a way that made one feel good about this place (Brooks, Or.)	
               kinda made me feel like I hobbled into Mayberry, for lack of a better way to phrase it.	
              	
              Brooks is several  miles north of Salem Oregon  just east  off the I-5 fwy,  I can't think of a more fortunate place to have a fan belt tensioner pulley bearing blow apart and  fail..	
              I was readying for a lengthy wait, and an  "out-of-towner"  repair bill,   but to my amazement,    (even with two service techs short that day)  	
              they  immediately  (and very accurately diagnosed the nightmare,   I had no idea what happened I just heard a big noise from the hood)  then they promptly called and ordered a new tensioner pulley,  	
              which arrived in less than half an hour, and bang!....I was back on the road inside an hour. .........un-frickin-believable!!!	
              Along  with the  incredibly fast  service ,  I was greeted by the friendliest people I have met in a long time ....I immediately  knew  that I was led to the right place !	
               I was treated  as royalty by an automotive repair shop !!!   (should be called an auto clinic, these guys are like doctors!)	
              	
              It 's a cry'in shame there isn't enough businesses sharing the same ideals as this one does ,  they obviously regard customer service as paramount to their business survival, 	
              and I believe with this approach they will be around for a long while.	
              I would recommend them to anyone !	
              Kudos to you Rob,   ....Don't change a thing !!!	
              Thanks for the royal treatment,	
              	
              A very happy Jim Jutras
