WHALE OF A TALE "Dear Editor: "Recently we had an experience with a McHenry businessman that we will never forget and make sure our friends never will either. Approximately four months ago we were involved in an automobile accident in town that wasn't our fault, I might add. The insurance company was great and we received payment within two weeks. "Now the problem came to getting our car fixed, which took three months to get it in. Now I understand car repair is a going business and it takes time. That we overlooked. We were called Thursday before Labor Day to bring the car in immediately so they could start work on it first thing Friday morning. Well, as of Saturday afternoon the car still sat in the place my husband parked it. Saturday night the car was inside the shop but evident to us, just so it wouldn't sit out the long weekend. So work was started that following Tuesday. "There was about 14 hours of labpr on the car but it took eleven days to get it back and when we did, around the flags on the fenders it looked as though they finger painted. So I proceeded to take the car back to ask about it. Well, I was told they couldn't take them off without removing the fender so they had to work around them. So that was overlooked. "The following day I was sitting in the car with the door open and discovered that all they had to do was open the door and reach into the fender and loosen one nut. This was later admitted - they found out after the work was done. This added a little coal to the fire. "A week ago we discovered wltere two holes were filled the paint was all bubbled. So again the car was taken tack, first by my husband and again by me. It wis told water gets behind the paint and makes it bubble and the only solution for now is to stick the bubble with a pin so the paint won't chip off. I said in other words I have to carry a pin with me at all times and get out there and stick bubbles. Well, the reply was 'that's right.' "The whole front end was repainted and we have chips out of the fenders and the reply tothat was «how come, did you get hit'? I will agree our car is getting old. It's a 1963 model and it can't be perfect. But we paid $237 and some odd cents for a complete mess. He knew before he did the job that this would happen because of rust on the inside of the fender. Pve been told by others that they were very dissatisfied with the work done on their cars by the same firm. "Then he tried to tell me he didn't charge me for doing that part. I had to refresh his memory on that. I have learnedyou have 30 days to pay the bill without a service charge. So, people of McHenry, take advantage of it because it only takes three weeks before it starts to chip off. So if you see a lady in town sticking her car1 with a pin don't think she's ready for the Twice Told Tales FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of Oct. 4, 1928) Mr. and Mrs. Charles W.
