Very few things in life have ever taken care of me as well as my vehicles - even when I've treated them so poorly. My latest was purchased at the beginning of one of my incarnations, the first of a string of rebirths where I presumed to have the answers until I repeatedly found myself deep in a dark wood in the middle of life's journey.

No matter how bleak or suffocating the situation, like a desperate lifeline or an extension of my legs, my car took me away - running from any problem, person, or myself, much faster than a posted speed limit.

With scars and wounds from a life of mistakes, I always arrive unscathed and as if I was Dorian Gray, my car shows how I feel.

It's difficult to trust anyone. I've decided that I trust these guys at this location. I trust them to fix my car, to tell me when it needs something done and that they'll do it right, and fast - even if they bill me professional prices with rarely an attempt at a discount I've always chosen them to take care of things.

I don't bring my car here to save money. I don't end up at this garage because they charge the least or throw in an extra tire or any other gimmicks. Oil changes, creaking sounds, belts, screeches and howls, I come here because they fix everything I need them to fix with the car that I regularly anthropomorphize.

Rather than a separate entity, it's an extension of me, a machine enabling my impulse to escape and flee, and once when love left and I decided to run away, driving all night to reach the ocean for a chance to breathe new life - I understood that if my car broke down halfway between Phoenix and the Pacific that it would only be my car's heart breaking in accordance with my own.

Fairly reliable shop for your tire and regular auto service needs.  Decently priced maintenance specials; on par with a Sears Auto Center or the like, but with the bonus that you can walk three blocks up to downtown Decatur while they take care of your car, and have them call you when you're done.
