I first waited several minutes while the agent (not Jason, who is very professional), finished up with another customer, then spent some time shuffling papers. When I got the agent's attention, I started to describe my situation when the phone rang. "Let me take care of this." Ten minutes later I was still waiting. When he finally got off the phone, he asked me why I was there, all the while playing with the papers in front of him. My problem was with the air conditioner. "We don't do air conditioners anymore." I told him I wish he had told me that ten minutes earlier. "We didn't get that far." Why on earth not?? I would still go back because I believe they do good work at a fair price, but only if Jason is standing at the desk.

Ren's Mobil Service is a local and full service gas station that offers friendly conversation, a…read moreminiature store, and a warm welcome to the diverse community Amherst offers. The man I met told me he had been working there for his family over 20 years, and it's hard to find a better local resource than this for the price of a small tip and your gas. The station was very accessible and neatly kept right before the heart of downtown Amherst. You can pull in from either direction--just know what side of your car has the gas cap! All in all, I would tell international travelers, locals, students, and people of all ages and walks of life to go here. I'm certain they'll make you feel welcome and answer your questions, even in the bitter cold. Again, for full service gas, the price is low so mind to tip your attendant, 10% is a good amount and fits the current era we live in. The days where a single dollar was a good gas station tip were at least 30 years ago. :)

Border in Heath. I raced down here to AMHERST, instead of heading to Keene or Hadley which had tire service places I could have made. I've been calling folks offering my first born male child if they would stay open a little bit after 6., but pleas were not met with the Chivalry I'd hoped... Then called a place and while their service guys had already left, he did something that shocked me/ He HELPED! He went through the places I had been left out in the cold by - once is enough... but the Auto Angel urges me to give him 15-20 minutes and like an unlikely SUPER HERO, vowed to find me a much - MUCH needed place to put on my snow tires, without which it is likely I will not make it up into the hinterlands of Heath...and if I by some miracle, make it, I stand no chance of escaping to any semblance of civilization and basic needs for my two and four legged family. I didn't get his name- but it's going to be Yelped far and wide.. RENS MOBIL and AUTO SERVICE!!!! Hurrah for you!‍

I'm not one to write negative reviews for several reasons, but this one is well earned. Their…read moreservice is unreliable and they seem to underestimate the value of potential new customers. They over-promise and under-deliver. I am new to the area, so it was my first time dealing with this company. Since my riding mower is in need of maintenance, and they are in the same town as myself, I called them two days ago and scheduled for them to pick it up today at 2:00 pm. By 2:30 I called and was reassured that the driver may be running late. So I waited. Patiently.... By 5:30 I called and was told that the driver had gone for the day and that he had told them that the mower was not out by 11 am so it (the mower) was therefore not collected. OK. First of all the voice message from the driver the previous day confirmed to me that the pick up would occur at 2 pm today. Second, no one told me that the mower had to be out waiting for it to be picked up. Moreover, I would not leave it out to be picked up: it is a riding mower and they will need the key, therefore I am not as naive to assume there is no risk of it being stolen with the ignition key in the switch. Let us assume that is the case, that I would leave the mower outside. Is it that difficult to ring the door bell? But that is besides the point since 11 am was not the agreed time. At any rate, the lady at the other end of the line, admittedly courteous, proposed during my second call at 5:30 pm proposed that my mower be picked up next week. Talk about taking responsibility for their own mistakes! It will take me less time to find someone else with a more reliable time management skill set, and who are more considerate towards their customers' own time. In fact it will take me less time to do the maintenance work myself. Oh but wait, this company ought to have the time management skill set and infrastructure since they claim to have been in this line of business for as long as they have. Hmmm. Time to consider personnel change, one that communicates between themselves. Or perhaps a change in their line of business. As far as I'm concerned I do not want to do business with a firm that underestimates the value of their future clients' time, and overestimates their management skills. Over-promising and under-delivering some people call it.

I took a basic welding class to make a barn star at the Garrison Speed Shop in Mendon,…read moreMassachusetts. I have never welded before or used some of the tools and equipment required. The template pieces were all laid out, but that was it. Co-founder Luke had me read and sign all the releases first, and asked about my experience with welding etc. Being a Veteran myself, Luke as well, and the non-profit supporting Veterans and First Responders, he also made sure to ask me if loud noises or anything would bother me. Every step was explained and demonstrated before I was able to do it, and as nervous as I was at first, it quickly went away knowing he took my safety, the safety of others as well as their shop very seriously. Co-founder Ben also provided some muscle when I was unable to bend the metal myself. In just over 2 hours I had sanded, measured, re-measured, bent , hammered and welded together a really cool one of a kind 5-sided barn star. It was definitely something different to do and it was a really cool and fun experience. 5 stars !
