Damsel in Distress

A few weeks ago while driving home from Target with my 8 month old baby the dreaded check engine light came on and started flashing. Oh the horror! I could just imagine being stranded on the road waiting for the police to come and pick us up and take us home. Then I would have to worry about a tow truck and a rental car. Thankfully, my guardian angel was not going to let that happen.  I was able to safely drive my car to Herbert Automotive in Cumming. The mechanics there recognized a scared mom and sought to sooth my ruffled feathers. After taking my car into the garage, one of the mechanics, who was a daddy himself  drove me and my baby home. In case you are wondering, yes I had my car seat and base with me. Before he left me at my house, he helped me get my groceries and car seat out of the car.

Trouble with cars has always terrified me, maybe because I had an engine that blew on me on GA 400 in the middle of winter no less. With all of my car incidents over the years, my experience with Herbert Automotive was by far the most pleasant. All of the mechanics there were indeed gentleman that treated me like a lady.
