<p>I have an older SUV, a Ford Explorer, AND I have a wonderful <strong>Auto</strong> <strong>Repair shop</strong> that takes care of my hardworking Explorer&#8230;<strong><a title="Marks' Expert Auto - Yelp review" href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/marks-expert-auto-service-seattle">Marks&#8217; Expert Auto</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Bianca-saur (my white Explorer) has been feeling a little under the weather.  Later, I described her symptoms to Marks&#8217; wife Lisa, as having bronchitis.  A few days before I was having a marathon day of touring houses for sale, and Bianca-saur, who had been suffering  for a bit, seemed to be much worse.   *<em>sigh</em>*  </p>
<p>Time to take her to Marks&#8217;&#8230;oh how I hate being car-less in Seattle!  So I left her at Marks&#8217;, and later in the day got some bad news&#8230;..  Bianca-saur&#8217;s days are numbered as she is in need of an engine transplant.  *<em>sigh</em>*</p>
<p>Mark told me that I might be better off replacing Bianca-saur rather than getting into the expense of an &#8220;engine transplant&#8221; and who knows what else might be discovered.  *<em>sigh</em>*</p>
<p>THIS, I needed to think about&#8230;.  Later when I called Mark back, I said well, lets just do an oil change for now, and I&#8217;ll pick her up afterwards. </p>
<p>Later, I get a VM from Lisa telling me that Mark made a &#8220;Miracle&#8221;&#8230; Bianca-saur was running better!  When I picked her up, she was running sooo much better, not exactly purring, but without the recent &#8220;bronchitis&#8221; straining.  Yay! </p>
<p>Lisa did not know what Mark had done, and I only know that something wonderful had happened.  You don&#8217;t question the nature of a miracle, you just have faith!</p>
<p>I have been taking my cars to Marks&#8217; for a least a decade, I even followed when Mark moved his shop to Burien.  You know, it&#8217;s so important to have a trusted auto mechanic. </p>
<p>TRUST is an important asspect in all professional service realtionships: Trusted Accountant, Trusted Auto Repair, Trusted Electrician, Trusted Plumber, and&#8230;ahem,<strong> Trusted Seattle Real Estate Agent!</strong></p>
<p>Thanks Mark, Lisa and let&#8217;s not forget Nate!</p>
