🚨 **CUSTOMERS, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE…** 🚨

If you’re sick, think you’re sick, or even *possibly* could be sick, **please don’t come into the shop.** ❤️

Over the last week or two, I’ve had several customers tell me they have **strep, pneumonia, and other illnesses** while they’re here at the shop.

Well… now, as the **only service writer**, I still HAVE to come to work — and I’m left praying that I don’t unknowingly share it with someone else.

We understand that cars still break down when you’re sick, and sometimes you have no choice but to bring your vehicle in. If that happens, **please call us first** and let us know. We’ll do our best to work with you without putting anyone else at risk.

This isn’t about judging anyone for being sick. **We just ask that you please be considerate of the people who have to be here every day.**

🙏 **Please help us keep our shop healthy. If you’re sick, stay home and give us a call.**

Thank you for understanding and looking out for our D&L family! ❤️🔧

😂 THINGS WE HEAR AT THE SHOP…

“It only makes that noise when I'm driving.”
Then we take it for a test drive…
Nothing.
😂😂😂
Then the customer rides along…
NOW IT MAKES THE NOISE.

Mechanics know exactly what we're talking about. 😂

What's the strangest vehicle noise you've ever had?
