sometimes, being a girl rocks!

so i went down to the DOL during lunch today to renew my license that expired last week...i know, i know...anywho, i was standing in line and a gentleman who was driving a similar make of car as mine started chatting me up. he was complimenting me on my vehicle, tells me he works on cars and asked where i get mine serviced. i told him where i'd gone but they wanted to charge a ton of money to get some stuff fixed (breaks, oil changes, etc). he goes, 'we have a couple minutes till our numbers are called, let's go take a look at it and if you'd like, i can give you quotes.' so we go to my car, he looks around, checks the oil and says, 'yup ~ you need new breaks.' i showed him the quote i got from the now former garage and he said, 'that's ridiculous. i can do it for half!' now, while i don't know a ton about cars, i know he's right, and while he was very nice and totally non-threatening, you can't help but wonder about the ulterior motive. what's the catch, right? he gave me his card, and left after he was done with his turn in the DOL line. i still have to wait, because i'm getting the enhanced license so a few minutes later, he come BACK to the DOL with a quart of oil and offers to put it in the engine for me! needless to say, i've found a new mechanic. who says chivalry is dead? oh, and in case you're wondering, i gave him 20 bucks. like mom says, you never know what a day will bring.
