I love having family members that I can call on when I need specialized help.
For instance, my cousin is a phenomenal mechanic who owns an auto shop with some of the highest ratings in the county.
I take all of my family’s vehicles to his shop and he gives us the friends and family price. It’s not because we get a discount, I only trust him with our vehicles because I know I don’t have to worry about him making things up and trying to charge me to fix things that aren’t actually broken. On top of that, he’ll take my car in at a random time in the afternoon and have it back to me in 30 minutes if I simply need an oil change or a basic engine inspection. Between the honesty, affordability, and speed, I just cannot find a better auto mechanic than my cousin. I wished for years that I could find someone similar in the heating and cooling industry. There was a company I utilized for a decade until they got new owners and everything changed overnight. Suddenly their technicians were making costly mistakes and I couldn’t fathom giving them anymore of my hard earned money. Ironically, my daughter was worried about introducing me to her fiance because he’s a tradesman in the heating and cooling industry. While she feared I would judge him, I couldn’t be happier that the man happened to be an HVAC tech within his daily work. We got alone immediately and my daughter was relieved. Now I finally have an HVAC technician that I feel I can trust!
