I've been very stressed lately - my struts and tie rods on my car needs to be replaced. I know its not a cheap fix but it has to be done. I've been wondering where to come up with the money and stressing.
I went in today to check on the cost of the work to be done on my car and was told...not to worry...I've been doing work for them computer wise...that they were going to make the cost of my bill match what they owe me. I was pleasantly very surprised!
Now knowing this i felt sooo relieved and happy. I also know...that what they owe me is probably quite a less than what stuff costs. As i know friends have paid around 1000 after labour to have the work and parts done.
I do my best to be good to people...make life easier for them. Was so nice to have...someone do the same for me.
Have you ever had a surprise like this?

A little bit of a discount is always nice! I like it when things are rewarded to me, after hard work or not. It sounds like you've made an impression and they are willing to help you with it. It's a win win situation there.

Yes, I have had people help me, when they really had no reason to. Your mechanic at least has reason to be helpful back to you. You also have the option of offering free services to them in the future if you feel that they have over done their generosity. I am happy that you have someone helping relieve your stress.

Hi there saundyl,
I guess, so in my life I think most of the people I have dealt with had been nice to me, and i have always been trying to be someone that always lends a helping hand, i'm not the type that can give money or stuff that costs a lot but i am more of a labor person so anytime that I can help-out I do with my bear hands and my personality.

That is nice that things worked out great for you. I do believe that if we are good with others without expecting something in return than good things will happen to you too even if they don't happen right away. It is nice that people can trade off things and services like this, it makes everyone's life easier and more happier. When I do something good for someone I don't expect anything for them but it is always nice when they do something good and nice for you too. It shows that they appreciated your gesture

Hi Saundyl. Thank God these people are that good to you. Yes it happens to me all the time. A year or so back my computer took a nose dive and I was without a computer. I called a friend that has a lot of computers to see if he had an extra hard drive. He said yes and would bring it right over. When he got here he had brought me his old computer the whole thing was only a few months old he had gotten a new one for Christmas that year. I think God daily for all the blessings God bestows upon our daily lives.
