Several years ago after my husband passed away, I drove my truck into the Old Town Tire and Auto Service located at 1001 Rio grande Blvd with a list of things I needed done to my truck (of course, I thought I knew what my truck needed because of my vast experience in auto repairs - yeah right!). I told the service man that I needed new tires, new brakes, oil change and tune up and a few other misceallaneous items. I left the truck there - they drove me to work. I got a call later that day and much to my surprise, they told me that my tires were good for at least another year, my brakes were good - just had a some dust in them. They did discover a problem that eventually would become serious if I didn't address soon - within the next year - and was going to be costly (I'm thinking thousands - turns out it was about $300 - whew!). They fixed what was needed and we made plans to have other stuff done when I could afford. Since that experience, I've trusted them with my auto reapairs. They could have made quite a bit of money from me at that initial visit, instead, they've made a loyal customer! what a concept!
