Do NOT go to Roy`s Auto Repair, as they are dishonest and even mean (Q.e.d., below)

"Don`t hate. Articulate." OK, fine, I am a professional writer, and I`ll will detail Roy`s crime against me, but I am not going to use any euphemisms to please the chamber-of-commerce prudery of YP. I used to be a customer of Roy`s for years, and things had been going fine until last fall when Mike, the creep head mechanic, pulled an outrageous stunt, for no apparent reason other than to save his owner seve... view moreral hundred dollars. He actually STOLE my receipt from his establishment (Roy`s) from several months back, which I had left lying on the passenger seat; in its place he put another receipt from Roy`s--but not the same one, not the one in question pertaining to the botched repairs which Roy`s was now legally obligated to fix and which would cost him or the owner some $500 in parts and labor. He actually obtained this other receipt by, without my permission, ransacking my glove box! This latter receipt, he now began to claim, was the original receipt I had, it turns out, foolishgly left on the passenger seat. (My intent was to show this receipt to Mike or their other mechanic and ask them to fix my car with respect to the defective work they had performed on it several months back.) But it was NOT the original receipt; it was a different receipt for other minor work done to my car, and this receipt was worthless to me; by then Mike had probably torn up the receipt he had stolen from me and flushed it down the toilet. He would later change his story and say that I had lost the original receipt, which in fact he had stolen. Then this creep produced a receipt--wonder of wonders!--from a competitor, Dobbs Tire and Auto, which had been in my glove box, and Mike now told me to take my car to Dobbs to have it fixed. This means, however, that during his illegal ransacking of my glove box, Mike the dolt mechanic had also stolen that Dobbs receipt and presented it to me like some kind of gift, saying, during our heated argument in which I demanded my stolen receipt back, and in which he refused to give it back (one reason probably being, as I already mentioned, that he could not give me back MY receipt because he had already destroyed it), that by using the Dobbs receipt I`d save myself money. But I was not buying that idea, and I wound up being correct. One crime must be concealed by another, as the proverb goes. I then went to the St. Louis County Police and told them that Mike had stolen something of value from me--the receipt--but the imbecilic police refused to do anything for me, claiming that the receipt had no value and that therefore no crime had been committed! As a matter of factual jursiprudence, the police were wrong, since the receipt was worth to me--and in a much different manner, to Roy`s--approximately $500, it being PROOF that Roy`s was obligated to perform about that much of service to my car, but I could not convince the uneducated County police of this. I tried to reason with the police, but after refusing for ten minutes to allow me to talk to a police supervisor, I was allowed to talk to one, but only after the officer had been biased by talking to the original policewoman I had been speaking to.

The shade tree mechanics with the computer know how.

I moved to St. Louis a decade ago and knew almost no one. My car was acting up and my new neighbors recomended Roys. I was amazed: quality service, genuine know how, and a quote giving an exact amount before working. They have never failed me and I recommend them to all my new neighbors as the place where quality and service aren`t just slogans. Bravo!
