Story goes on a recent trip to visit family and attend my neices h.s. graduation in Phoenix, Az my 68 year old Mother rammed her vw Jetta while backing out of her garage into my blazer wrecking her trunk lid in the process, call it a senior moment but an accident none the less.
She bought the car new and managed to keep it in pretty good condition over 18 years, accident free etc so she was pretty bummed about it and also the fact my SUV is now just an sv as for the moment as I still can't open my tailgate lol!
As I was preparing to hit the road to head back home to Massachusetts I happened to vaguely remembere that Guy was in the reconditioning buisness in the Phoenix area so I sent him a message from the board asking only if he could recommend a place locally where we might find a trunk lid new used whatever.. Guy responded promptly explaining I had a couple options and to give him a call on his personal cell witch it did, after giving me a couple tips where to look he changes course and asks me for the VIN and a pic of the damage, didn't get it to him right away, as I'm half way across the country HE CALLS ME asking for the info lol, not that I had any reason to think he wasn't I'm now pretty damn confident this guy is legit.
Next day I get a text from him saying he sourced a used silver trunk lid and will be in his hands that week explaining when it does arrive he'll get it painted and prepped for install if we could just get the car down to him.. at this point I'm thinking this is all too easy and too good to be true there's gotta be a catch. Get a text few days later saying trunk lid ready for install, so on a Sunday morning I text him asking if it's ok to drop the car off and leavi it overnight, no go they are shut down like a bank on a Sunday, I decided then that instead of being the middle man to ask Guy if it was ok to give my Mom his cell he responded, as usual with no problem. They came up with a plan to get the car there for 9am Monday morning, I get a text from my mother Monday afternoon raving how nice and accomodating Guy was.
Nexd day (Tuesday) I get a text from Guy saying "your mom just picked up the car she seemed pretty happy", then a text from my mom with this pic
.. and a list of all the extras that Guy threw in
Remote trunk latch repair
Windshield chip repair
Car wash
Interior panel placement repair
Headlight reconditiong
Personal tour
The list goes on..
Finally the price, I wont post it here but suffice to say if he did this regularly he'd be out of business, C'MON MAN! Witch leads to my final point, Guy does not know me from a hole in the damn wall other than some sporadic random posts here on the board, yet he treated us both with as though we we're dignitaries bringing in a bugatti, never could of imagined a simple pm would turn into such an efffortless great experience.
Thank you very much Guy for your incredible service, to say you went far above and beyond would be an understatement!
You have a friend in New England for ANYTHING you may need out this way, anytime-Dan
