Several years ago, I was driving through Pennsylvania, trying to get from Cleveland to Brooklyn in a blizzard in the dead of winter. My car stopped responding to the gas pedal on the highway, and I wasn't able to go over 15mph. I got off the next exit and made my way to Earl's via directions from a gas station attendant. Earl was about to close right when I showed up (just before 5pm). Well, he didn't. He stayed, he made one of his guys stay, and he quickly diagnosed the problem (dead solenoid, I believe). Unfortunately he didn't have the part; but the next part is truly unbelievable. He called the nearest Autozone, convinced them to stay open past 5 (when they were scheduled to close), and sent one of his guys in a 4x4 truck to pick up the part some 20-30 min away (in the storm). This guy comes back and Earl gets the car up and running in another half hour. We leave and make it home safely to NYC that night. What's more, he charged me the Autozone price for the part and otherwise just labor at a low rate. What's more, when I tried to tip him (the hundreds more dollars I thought he deseved), he actually refused it! When I insisted, he would only accept $20 to later give to the driver who picked up the part for gas. Earl is truly a modern gentleman. He quite literally saved the day, and I have never forgotten it, often wishing there was some way to pay him back for what he did.

Nice old man haven't had work done there but did get price estimate from him that was way lower then the other guys that do smoke test on our car just haven't got it in yet and when I do I'll give final star rating
