As i may have mentioned in a previous post, i am book smart and experience poor in the WVO arena. Couple that with my god-given skill to research a project to death until i have enough information to talk myself out of actually executing anything and you have a nightmare of a potential client (ask, pester, confer, ask more, inquire . . . disappear).
I have come to know that there are two types of communicators in this world and it boils down to ‘bullet points’ vs ’stories’. If you send an email and get back stories or visa-versa, prepare for communication problems. When i sent my bullet-point email to Green Drop Garage, i got back sub-bullet points. So far so good!
I was pretty confident that if they were listed on the Dino Fuels website, they would have the installation chops, my two big qualifiers were their ability and willingness to put up with my questions and to help with local vehicle inspection. The most difficult part of buying a used vehicle remotely, is getting the mechanical inspection and getting an accurate read on the seller as he tells his ownership/ “why i am selling” story (ie, the all important ’seller vibe’).
After a handful if emails back and forth, these guys look like they are the ones for me. They are ready willing and able to act as my “agent” to make sure i am getting a solid truck, their quotes for service and products seem fair to and are in line with what I have seen around and we traded bullets for bullets.
