I've been desperately in need of new tires for my car but work overnights so that can be challenging. We're supposed to get bad weather tomorrow. My mother told me that she could loan me the money and I should try and get the tires today or tomorrow. So this morning after work with only 3 hours sleep I called several tire places. The first place was a big chain and I was treated like I was a bit slow which I probably was with as little sleep as I had but still. The second place was a smaller local owned place and he was very nice. The third place was just down the road from where I was walking my friends dogs in Sparta. I apologized at one point and asked him to repeat something explaining that I work overnights and I'd only had 3 hours sleep. He was extremely polite and explained that if I drop the car off this morning they could change the tires. The problem was I had no way of getting back to pick up the car this evening and when I explained that I was told very nicely that they could come and get me, so I booked the car in. When I dropped the car off they asked me to call when I woke up so that they didn't call and disturb me while I was sleeping. I explained that I sleep until 7 when I get up for work but that I could be outside my house waiting around 515, 5:30 so that they could close their shop on time at 6 p.m. We agreed on that and I left. A moment later one of the guys came outside and said there been a change of plans. When I woke up my car would be waiting for me at the house if I could just call and give them my credit card information, they would take care of everything. I was so impressed with how understanding and considerate they were with someone who works night shift, something that I have found is quite rare. One of my pet peeves as the daughter of a mechanic is being treated differently by an auto shop because I am female and that was definitely not a problem here. They were kind, polite and extremely helpful and accommodating. They really went above and beyond and it was very much appreciated.
