I wish I was 30 years younger and know him and could open a shop together. But, he is entrenched in his one man shop at the moment and I am gonna go help him with the running of it while he will then be left with the mechanical side of it. He recently wanted to make a repeat customer happy that Progressive Insurance was paying to have his Ford Super Duty diesel fuel system completely redone because of some a*s*shole putting something in his fuel tank. The entire fuel system was being replaced. He was deep in it and Progressive called and asked progress on the job. My friend told them of some delays because of parts availability but the final parts needed did show and he was going back to work on it. Normally he closes shop at 6 pm. He felt bad for the delays. He closed shop at 4:30 and worked till 4:30 in the morning and then went home and ate, showered and slept for 2 hours and came back and had the truck done by 2:00 pm that day. Progressive told him to put in request for extra pay because as it turns out, some of the delay was caused by a couple broken bolts that he had to deal with and make right. Progressive stepped up and paid in full and the customer was very happy.</p></blockquote><p></p>
