Which Room Would You Rather Wait For Your Oil Change In? Me Too..












Out With the Old, In With the New at Cale Yarborough Honda ....







Life at work got a lot easier on Wednesday. For those of you who have driven by or stopped in at work, you couldn't help but notice that we've been undegoing a lot of renovation at the dealership. In fact , it's been going on since April - four months before I got there. Well, it's not quite done yet, but for those of you who have had to endure waiting on your car at the dealer, there is a BIG, CLEAN, COMFORTABLE difference !!







You see, as all the work has been going on, we've had a dirty little secret - the trailer/waiting room. It was small, cramped, cold/hot depending on the weather, and all we had was some magazines and 3 DVD's to watch. It used to be 6, but someone stole Top Gun, The Patriot and The Emperor's Club. I can't blame them...We used to have to walk the customers out of the shop to this:



Pretty nasty, eh? I used to call it The Presidential Suite or The Detention Cell.....


It's no small coincidence that our CSI scores had dropped this Fall, and who could blame them? Luckily, those days are now over. There is still a lot of exterior work to be done, and my area is still be worked on too, but they're expecting it all to be done in February. ..
If by chance, you are a customer, i'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for the lack of amenities , and to thank you for your patience and understanding. Think I'll donate some new DVD's until the cable gets installed......
