    Default I got my oil change and radiator fixed for free.

    I brought my van into my mechanic ( have been going to him for 10 years) for an oil change. He did the oil change and fixed a hole in my radiator for free. He must have been in a good mood or something. I love free!

    That's awesome! I love that when people help out like that. I would guess you'll continue to go to him. We bring our car to the same person all the time because of the same reasons. He's honest and fair. And sometimes super nice!
