Last week I dropped the Packard off at a high end detail shop. I felt that the 11 year old "driver" paint job was looking a little tired. Plus the stone chips were really getting obvious. The day I took my car to get an estimate, there were 2 Ferrari's, a Porsche 356 Speedster, a 69 Z-28 Donovan race car....well, you get the picture. The day I dropped the car off, there were 2 Porsche turbos, a Mustang Cobra, mid 60's Mercedes... Today when I picked my Baby up, there was a Lamborghini, 2 other Porches, and a Ferrari. When I was settling up the bill, I wanted to tip the employee that did the work. "Well, yes they do accept tips but very few give them!" I explained what a CASO is and then proceeded to out do all those "fancy" car owners.
I think I made a friend for life! Ray was very pleased and he told me how much he appreciated being able to do the work on my car. It really bothers me that those other car owners wouldn't think about tipping the guy taking care of their car. Believe me, having this job done was a sacrifice for us. I have been in the service industry all my working years. I don't have a problem taking care of the people that take care of me. What gives?
