Lube and Adjustment (thats what they call it these days)

Ah ha.....I know what your thinking......yes I do.....well OK maybe I don't but if I had just read the title of my blog I would have been thinking things that were not PG or even PG 13. Dirty minds are a terrible thing to waste. The problem with where my mind usually is, is it doesn't correspond with actual circumstances. Too bad huh, but on a good note I can tell you with no reservation that should you need any sort of body work done for you car I have found a place you can go. Yes it is true. I felt comfortable and it didn't cost me all the winnings I just collected from my jaunt at the casino. (That is an inside joke, I don't gamble too stingy). We (the Ramthun Clan)were having an issue with our minivans automatic doors closing. I am not partial to losing children on the interstate during hairpin turns so I felt it might be wise to have it checked out. The "Dealer" suggested I make an appointment for Friday to have them diagnose the issue. It should take about an hour and a half, and they could order parts if needed, "It would be best to leave the car for the day" they said. I could then stick my neck in the door track as they closed it neatly lopping off my head guillotine style in order to pay for all the work that would be needed. (no arm and legs that is small time) The fee before parts was $98.00 an hour flat rate fee to diagnose. So dear friends not having 98.00 to start never mind after diagnosis I, in desperation called the first body shop I can remember ever hearing about.
Drum Roll Please.................Don Mallon Chevrolet * Cadillac............Yes....I love them. (And I don't love easily) I called and a car angel answered, laughed at my very feeble jokes and told me to come right down. "Don't worry" Shelly said "We will fix you right up" I love having someone else do the mothering so I did what I was told. Shelly Brockett is the Body Shop Manager. She had explained to the gentleman working in the shop what I had called about and there was someone waiting for me when I drove up. Half an hour later the car was ready and the bill was less than $30.00. I was impressed enough to write this. If you happen to be driving by Don Mallon's on rte 32 in Norwich on your way to here or there please stop in and say "Hi" to Shelly in the body shop for me. You'll know her by her leopard print vans. It takes a cool chick to carry those off and she does it with flair.
