Columbia Auto Repair & Sales, The Dalles OR

Randy is a very helpful car repair business owner. Years ago I had my battery failing and they were able to fix it by repairing a couple of wires on my automatic door in my van. Well, that same door is having intermittent functionality issues and without charging me anything they took a look at it today and found that there was corrosion in the contact and quite possibly damage in one of the wires. And he is willing to install a new harness that I bring in as long as I bring in the right one. And for now was willing to disconnect the harness from the door so that it will work as a manual door until it can be repaired. And he did all this again without charging. I offered him $5 for his time and service because that's all I have at the moment but he was "No it's okay don't worry about it. " Okay so that was a paraphrase but nevertheless that was the gist of how it felt when he declined the payment. It took all of 10 minutes or so out of their time. Walter, or Wally as I was calling him because my brain forgot the ter, is an awesome technician!

They calibrated my intoxalock quickly and efficiently without even an appointment.
