Recently, my tire blew out on my car as I driving along 219th St in Battle Ground, WA. I heard a funny noise, a thumping noise, and pulled off to the side of the road. When I got around the car to check it out, sure enough, the tire needed to be changed. It was dark outside, after dusk, and even though the shoulder was wide, I would have had to stand in the ditch on a busy main strip of Battle Ground at night, and as a young women on my own, I wasn't comfortable with that. Fortunately, Martin's Auto Clinic was less a block up the road, had it's lights on, and the parking lot of partially clear so I pulled in. I tried to use my cell phone, to call my husband, it died. Fortunately, an older man and his son pulled in and let me call, but all I got was voice mail. The older man and the son left after I handed the phone back so I was left to change the tire by myself. As I was pulling out the parts from the back of the car I noticed that there were three guys standing in the window of Martin's Auto Clinic staring at me. I went to pull on the door and get their attention but NO ONE EVER CAME OUT! I had to change the tire by myself, in the dark, and it was raining. It took 45 minutes and the whole time, the three guys held a conversation inside the building, while intermittently watching me work outside. Despite taking several breaks, no one every offered any assistance, even to use a phone to call a tow truck. Eventually, I got the tire changed, but their rudeness at this car repair shop has soured my opinion of their shop. I WILL NEVER give them a try. If these guys can't be bothered to come to the aid (or even tell me get off their property) of a young women changing a tire in the dark and the rain, then they are not worth my time in the future, EVER!
