During our two months on the road,Bennett and I had a really 1 experience with a good, honest 2 and some helpful mechanics(机修师).
We were driving east on Highway 10 when our “check engine” light came on.We limped(拐)off a(n) 3 into Las Cruces.We had a real car 4 .Bennett nursed the car into a local garage.By this time the car was missing(熄灭)so 5 it was shaking all over.This was the 6 time to arrive at a garage–late Friday afternoon.Service adviser Scott was busy 7 paper work and customers as we 8 our problems. 9 he was already “ten cars behind”, he told us to pull the car into the garage.
Lincoln, who we later 10 was one of the top motor technicians,took 11 of our car repairing.He and Scott and some other mechanics stayed several hours after closing, 12 the car.
Early the next morning(the shop was officially closed on Saturdays), Lincoln finally located the 13 and fixed it easily within only 14 .
Later Scott 15 out to us that it was our attitude that helped.“You didn’t come into the place demanding this or that.You showed an 16 of our problems on a busy Friday afternoon.Customer’s attitude means a lot.” He was right in some way, customers should show 17 and understanding to people who 18 them. 19 people were extremely busy, they found way to at least try and help when they are met with politeness.
The pleasant experience I had shows that 20 for other people can always help.
