So my wife just got all masked up yesterday to take her car to the dealer to have a critical airbag recall service performed–they have been nagging us with scary notices for months.  
When she went to pick up her car, they gave her flowers. When I say they gave her flowers, [I mean they gave her flowers](https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-xxq6V3T/0/dc43ef27/X5/i-xxq6V3T-X5.jpg)! Yep, roses in a vase.

Now, any other guy might question the motives of the mechanics, but I’m certain they are super folks. What a nice act on their part.

Had something similar happen when my they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with my Wife’s car. Had it serviced and broke again on way home. Ended up in a hotel room. They gave us a rental car (actually an F150 which was odd), and flowers.
