I just thought that I would share this with some of you since all we
usually ever see about auto repair places is negative.

I recently bought a used car from a buddy of mine. Really mint. A 1977
Olds Cutlass with 66,000 miles. It seems that about a couple of months
ago, his wife put the emergency brake pedal to the floor and the cable
or something broke. Anyway when I bought it, he told me about the problem
and recommended I take it to a local Olds dealer he had done business
with. Upon inspection of the rear wheels, I was told that my brakes
were within a few thousand miles of needing to be replaced. Well I 
found out that this car had had a break job done only 20,000 miles
before ...(however, it had been 4 YEARS AGO!!)..., so I decided to
call the place and see what they had to say. To my surprise, I was
told that they offered no real warranty, but always took good care of
their customers. After inspecting the rear wheels, I was told that
I was right, and that they would replace the rear shoes...NO CHARGE!
The two fellas that I talked to were also the owners and they've been
there since 1956.

A subsequent investigation has revealed that many of my friends
are satisfied customers. I am recommending this place to anyone who
needs any kind of automotive work short of body and fender.

It's name is J & C (Joe and Chuck) Auto Service at 821 Ogden ave.
in Downers Grove, Illinois.
