I try to shop locally as much as possible so when I needed some auto repair work, I decided to search Yelp and try a local mechanic. Yelp hasn't steered me wrong yet,
Well there is always a first time. I called a week ago to schedule a diagnostic check on my car at Whitmore's Automotive. A lady on the phone took the appointment. I drove across town from Webster Street, but when I arrived there was no one at the garage. It was raining, the old rusty gate of the garage was open; however, there was no one in sight. I called the company's telephone number and it rang in the little U-Hail closet next store.
This was a very strange experience for me and it kind of meant that they don't want or need my business, I brought my car to a mechanic a little further down the road on Park Street and all is well that ends well.
