    A customer wanted to pay me $25 more!

    I had a customer today buy an expansion tank from me, he was desperate, as he was stuck. He told me he rang some bricks and motor store and all he got was a recording " we are currently attending to customers and can not take your call." He then realised they were shut. He commented that if they are closed then it wouldn't take much to change the recorded message to reflect that.
    So we helped him out, he was so greatful and wanted us to add $25 to the credit card bill for helping him out.

    Naturally we didn't accept the extra tip, but it makes us feel good that someone's holiday is not ruined and they will be on their way again and we could help out.

    Good Business

    When some one in business helps me I like to show my loyalty by buying and recommending them to others Some time back I think it was you that I brought a O ring from for a Ser3 6 cylinder water pump, The invoice was lost and forgotten until for about 18 months I phoned your office and apologized and asked for your bank details, I was told as it was only a small amount and so long passed to forget it. I do not forget little things like this and have recommended you a few times to others I live in Queensland that why I do not trade with you, but I am looking forward to meeting you when in Melbourne next .

    Its good to hear that the like's of Roverlord and Landybitz go that extra mile over the festive period, we too have had people calling emailing etc wanting parts because others are closed, of course someone people would say you are entitled to have time off at Xmas and its your choice to open, but in an industry like ours which is getting very competitive and where margins are getting tighter and tighter as competition increase, trading all hours is a benefit to some. We also now live in a world where everyone wants things in the now.

    Any way this is why you get such a good plug and recommendation from so many members as you go the extra mile any time when others cant or wont be bothered

    Thanks Chris, the days between Christmas and New year are officially trading days anyway. We Been busy the last few of days personally delivering stuff as no couriers or postal service. We didn't have the usual pre Christmas rush like other years, I think people wanted to save money and chance going away.. Unfortunately quite a few got caught with cooling issues, belts, hoses, expansion tanks etc. The few hot days have taken the toll on weak cooling systems.
    I drove past the local tyre place today and it was packed out with vehicles getting stuff done so there are a businesses open.
    We'll have our break during the year when all the madness is gone.
