Honest Work at Honest Prices m
There are two highly important
"points for a man to consipier before
having his car overhauled,
The first point is to assure himself
that the men who are going to worK.'
on his car are mechanics expert
enough to locate and properly repair
all the parts that need attention.
The second point is to convince
himself that he can trust the shop tP
give him an honest accounting of the
amount of work that was actually
done on the car.
We gladly welcome an investigation
on both of these points. We have
the facilities, the workmen and the
business methods that will more than
satisfy all who investigate.
