My very last service experience was pretty much the same-old, same-old:  Wisiting with my friends at Chico VW while the technicians quickly and efficently changed my oil and did their 34-point inspection.  However, I had a more unusual experience on the morning of Nov. 17th 2010.  I had to be in court that morning: and my wife and I were friving from Chico to San Diego as soon after noon as possible.  When I started my Jetta early in the morning, it indicated that it was out of coolant.  A quick look indicated I was, indeed out of coolant.  At 7:50 a.m. I called Chico VW and talked to Guy, who said "bring it in."  I dropped off the Jetta a half-hour later and made it to Oroville in time for a scheduled training.  Willie Blakely, whom I have known and trusted for many years, took it upon himself to diagnose and fix my car in the three hours I was gone.  Upon my return to Chico VW, I was able to literally take my car and shortly thereafter drive directly to San Diego.  It doesn't get any better that that.
