Last Friday, I thought my Fit had a serious battery issue and didn't want to wait until the following week, when I had a appointment for an oil change and have my snow tires put on, to have it checked. Robert told me to come right in, he'd see if I needed a new battery, and bring my snows. It all worked out fine. Where else could I find a mechanic so accommodating? Many thanks!
