I was driving through Raton Pass alone on a road trip when my car started smoking. I'd just had an…read moreoil change done, and it turned out the shop had failed to reinstall the oil drain plug -- oil was leaking out, and I was stuck and scared, hours from my destination. Every shop I called in Raton said they were booked out for weeks. But then I called Pete at Triple O Auto -- and he didn't hesitate. He listened, understood, and immediately said, "Come here, I'll help you." Pete was not only professional and fast -- he was kind. He found the issue right away, replaced the missing plug, refilled my oil, and had me back on the road. But more than that, as a young woman traveling alone, he made me feel completely safe and cared for. While he worked, he told me about his grandkids, shared a few stories, and just made everything feel normal again in a moment that was anything but. I can't thank him enough. If you're ever in Raton and need help -- whether you're local or just passing through -- Triple O Auto and Pete are the real deal. Honest, kind, and exactly the kind of people you hope to meet when life goes sideways. Pete's a gem. -- Emily
