On Thursday, August, 6th, I had just relocated to Fargo, North Dakota. The four-day journey was harrowing, wrought with multiple perilous obstacles (literally). Upon my arrival to Fargo, I discovered my car battery had died while it was towed. Then, after replacing my battery and driving it for a day, my car wouldnt start! AI said it might be a fuse, relay, or a starter connectivity issue. On Saturday, August 8th, AAA sent my vehicle to Matts. I had to wait until Matts opened on Monday to communicate my latest dilemma. Tim Watson, the service manager, is a patient and thoughtful listener. He has created a calming atmosphere for Matts customer service center (which is important because you know how beyond stressful it is when your car dies). I said to Tim, If you will be fair, honest, and upfront with me, then I will collaborate with you long-term, because Id rather pay to replace broken parts than to purchase a new car. Im a planner. I need to know whats ahead of me so I can prepare for it. Tim explained that there were a few cars previously scheduled for auto repairs, so my diagnosis would need to wait until the next day, which is fair and logical. Tim informed me of the diagnostic cost. He obtained my consent. Then, he hailed an Uber to take me home (Its considerate and business-savvy that Matts Auto Repair has partnered with Uber to help customers get home.) The next day, by 1:00 p.m., Tim text me to say that the starter cable had disconnected. Matts technician reattached the cable free-of-charge. Next, Tim provided me with a roadmap for future repairs, so that I can financially plan for the inevitable. Tim ranked the repairs in order from greatest to least immediacy. I appreciate Tims organized and strategic approach that allows me to plan instead of encountering an untimely surprise. I look forward to collaborating with Tims Auto Service for my future auto maintenance.
