Omg, thank God for Casey. We were visiting from Santa Cruz and were just starting home when our car wouldn't start. Five different people (ok, so three WERE lawyers, but they tried) tried to jump-start it. No luck. The tow truck driver suggested we tow it to Casey's, just a few blocks away.
First thing next morning Casey put a new battery in it, but the car (a '11 Mitsubishi Outlander) would not start. We paced around while Casey sat in our car and thought. Occasionally he would turn the key and the car would start. But not always. Even with a fresh battery!
Long story short, not only was the battery almost dead (we knew this but hadn't gotten around to replacing it), but the tiny battery inside the electronic key fob had almost died as well. The reason the car would start occasionally was because my husband had the fob IN HIS POCKET and was pacing in and out of its (almost down to zero) range as Casey worked!
Before that, we had kept the fob in our glove box all the time because (don't tell) many folks don't lock their beater cars where we live. From that location two feet to the ignition, our car's anti-theft feature is always OFF and the car will start just by turning the ring around the ignition. It's unique to the sport model and is a feature, not a bug. It has its own little battery and transmitter.
Not knowing the area well, my husband had locked the car and put the electronic fob in his pocket where it didn't have the signal strength to tell the car it was not being stolen -- and so the engine could start.
See?
Yeah, Nobody else did either... But Casey figured it out and shrugged it off as no big deal.
That's why Casey could charge double for what he does.
But he doesn't, and that is one reason why YOU want your car fixed at Casey's.
My Dad would have admiringly called Casey "a mechanic's mechanic". That is the other reason to let him fix your car. He's...
