Today I was on my way to Stockton when my tire blew up. My car was smoking but my check engine light was not on. I had the oil changed last week so it cldnt be oil. The ground was shaking and felt like an earthquake. very nervous. I couldn't make it to the side of the road so I made it to a safe zone. still on the freeway but in-between the center the divides the freeway. hundreds of cars past me by while I was standing outside my car. Everyone stared but noone stooped.
I called my insurance nutbof course i was caller 1000. At least it felt like it (lol) as soon as they answered this guy named Larry stopped and told me he saw me and decided to come back because he feared if he didn't no one wld come and sun would be going down soon. He smiled and said ” I don't know what's wrong with our country not helping others. I was very happy to see him but also very nervous because I was all alone. He sensed my nervousness and treated me like a niece. Very professional. Told me to be careful and stand back so I'm not hit by a car. He was so nice that he even made sure to not get any dirt on the back if my trunk seat as he was getting out my spare tire.
You don't see this breed of kindness anymore. To top it all off. He did all the work to put the spare tire on and then realized it was very low. ‘See attached photo” He told me he had to remove the donut tire off because he said it would be unsafe to drive back to elk grove with the tire so low. He told me we cld ride together . Being the nervous girl I am ..I was hesitant to get in the car with him. He then told me to stay in my car and to be safe, he gave me his Driver's License and business card and told me he would take my tire to get air and bring it back. He said the id was to make me feel safer.
I thanked God for watching over me. He came back put the tire on and didn't ask for anything in return. He said God bless me. I returned his ID but kept his card. I wanted to come here and write a review because ill never go to the shop because i dont live anywhere near the shop. Larry was a pleasure to be around. Simply kindhearted. He too had a donut tire but made mine priority.
I was afraid i
wld be stuck in Stockton for our waiting on roadside assiistance. This guy can be trusted to do the right thing. He told me he injured his eye working on a car which hindered his eye but yet he made sure i was safer than he was while working on the Car with flying cars not paying attention to stopped vehicles.
See attached pics..I hope he doesn't mine if I post the pics. I took them while I was there for safety.
Thank you Larry for being such a great Samaritan. May God bless you , your family and place of work.
