I was looking for a used, reliable vehicle after wrecking my 1993, 160,000 mile Suburu Legacy Wagon, which I loved. My trusted friend John H. and several others highly recommended Jim and Auto Depot. The first thing I noticed was that Jim didn?t sound at all like a person in the car business. Rather, he sounded more like a highly cultured smooth talkin? easy listening radio DJ?. a contradiction in other words..Turns out he was, and still is, both. GREAT guy! The next thing I noticed was a lot of mud around the building, and a lot seeming chaos around Jim... No contradiction there. Wrecked cars & fixing wrecked cars = chaos in my book. I would trust a messy shop more then an perfectly tidy and organized one...Next thing I know, at my request, Jim is taking me all the way across town to the salvage yard to make sure my car can?t be repaired, This took about 2 hours of his time. .(.I had recently put $1600 into my car, and the wreck hadn't touched the engine.and I liked my Subee.). But nope, just as others had told me, ..it wasn?t worth fixing. Jim however, was willing to give me more for the salvage on it then either the insurance company or my mechanic had offered Next thing I know, he's showing and selling me on a good looking 92 Toyota Previa Van that will be repaired in 10 days.. the size of which I could really use, for awhile anyway. Meanwhile, he lends me a 93 clean, well running Honda Accord to use at no charge. GREAT I think, what a guy!. Three weeks passed, and the van, which I needed to haul some things to Shreveport, still wasn?t ready due to delays on parts and repairs he had not anticipated. Fortunately, a business associate was willing to use my Accord while I used their truck for the trip. I return from the trip 3 weeks later( that's about 6 weeks with a car that didn't cost me anything, because he gave me full value on the trade- in for the Accord,because legally it was in my name) When I went to pick the van, Jim told me the labor and parts on the van had far exceeded his original estimate by about $1500 but he would still sell it to me for the price he quoted me. GREAT What a guy! He also offered an optional 6 month warranty, and a very generous trade in price when I am ready for a smaller more efficient vehicle, and/ or will sell the van for me..knowing I was only keeping if for around 6 months. At this point, I start to feel a little guilty. Before returning the truck, I wash it, detail it, have the oil changed, and offer him and his wife free massage,(s) because my money is still tight at point of sale. Next thing I know he is offering me free advertising via his ads GREAT...What I guy! ? So for a limited time, anyone who spends $1000 or more at Auto Depot, will get a free ? hour massage. (Offer will end at my discretion, not Jims... GREAT... What a guy! In gratitude and awesome wonder.. Pauline Rubben.
