In this business the best compliment you can receive is a returning customer.
Getting to work on someone’s pride and joy is definitely the highest compliment you can be paid.

Owners put a lot of hard earned cash into the cars and they trust you as their mechanic to look after it as if it were your own.
On a personal note
In my previous business I sent a circular to all my clients to let them know I was moving on and the response I got through emails and text messages was unexpected and overwhelming. This as a whole was the best compliment I’ve received ever.
Those clients did that individually and just as a sign of appreciation. It wasn’t a planned send off or anything. They did not know others were doing the same.
All combined it really was a huge deal to me.
People who give compliments like that might not realize the boost they give to someone to thrive and continue to do even better.
