Got home, tried to close my driver window, no response. It was about 4:30 on a Friday. Drove to Meineke (a friend suggested them). I'd never been to them before. I explained the problem, the manager said they could fix it, and gave me a price range. I was not getting paid until Monday, so I didn't have the money to get it repaired, but was distressed because I live in an apartment, and was concerned about leaving my window open for the weekend. The manager suggested I apply for a Meineke charge card. I did, got credit (6 months no interest), plus he gave me a discount on the cost of the repair. They normally close at 6:00 p.m., but had to stay until about 6:45 to finish the repair. You better believe I'll not only be going back to them again, I'm telling everyone I know about how wonderful they were. Even the gal at the counter engaged me in a conversation, and made it clear it was no problem for them to stay later (they open at 7:00 a.m., but are there early). What a pleasant experience. I can't remember a car repair being so pleasant! Thank you for being human.
