while Jeep got brake job and general 60,000-mile service. Don't have a cell phone and guy behind snack counter at theatre called service shop for my ride (who that day was the young salesman who sold me the vehicle).

Bought the used 2017 Jeep in November 2017 (history was a fleet vehicle).

Need to drive 80 miles to see a stop light and that is where bought the vehicle.

Like to go there; everyone is so friendly. When been there for service and repairs, they have driven to and from motel and doctor appointments (when needed driver) or given me a loaner (as most of trips are a combination of medical and shopping, lymphoma and falling apart from age in general)). Very considerate during covid. Reason to have faith in World.
