The week after next week, there would be three consecutive days of public holiday. Customarily Peter would either spend the holidays with his friends by vacation to some tourist spots. Or, he would go back his hometown and spending his off days with his childhood friends. Peter would definitely needed his car for travelling except there was not yet a concrete decision where to spend his coming holidays.
It was a practice for him to send his car for checkup at his friend’s workshop whenever the car needed for long distance travelling. His friend the automobile mechanic called his cell phone “Hey, Peter I am having a house call and I need to go someplace near your place, I may have to spend a few minutes there only and I will be able to pick up your car for checkup. So am I not a good friend? It saves you to make a trip to my place” Peter “House calls near my place? I am working” The friend “Oh… sorry I mean the car park near your office, one lady call up from one of the car park near your Office”
Peter went over to the car park and she saw a lady standing beside one of the expensive luxury car and his friend was around. The lady was sobbing and looked pale.
Peter handed over his car key to the mechanic and walked away. The friend called him while he was on the way back to his office. “Peter, was it heavy rain earlier?’ Peter “Yes, it was and it was not raining, the sky high up there poured and splashed tons of water a second” The friend “No wonder, the main electronic device controlling all function of a car, the mother board. That mother board of the lady’s car was totally submerged by water and burnt out.” Peter “So, changed it, what’s that to cry about!” The friend “Yeah, change it, as easy as just a snap of two fingers; it cost her at least more than fifty thousand ringgit!” Peter exclaimed “What! Just a mother board! You must be kidding. My car a brand new car, I bought it less than fifty thousand” Peter had a sudden thought, it flashed over his brain while he had ended his phone conversation with his mechanic’s friend “It is price to pay for having just only an urge to drive a expensive luxury car”
“Hey boss, it looks like, you only know and busy repairing other cars but not mine!” Peter squatted down and talked to the mechanic underneath the car “Don’t say anything; I know you are going to say, that’s what a friend for, a friend’s car will be the last to repair” Peter non stopped and continued “Aye! What happen! No helper again, doing by one man show” The mechanic shouted underneath “Peter! Shut up and take a seat or go to the coffee store, I will join you minutes later”
Peter look around the workshop, there were a number of cars waiting down the line for servicing. It was not only Peter needed to service his car for long distance travelling. There were others, especially lady car owners. Peter noticed that it was a tag pasted on the front window screen each and every car after servicing. The tag indicated, the date of service and the mileage at the time of serviced. New mileage was suggested that the car have to be serviced again. The new mileage, it was current mileage plus 5000 km. Peter was told by his mechanic friend earlier, ever since he introduced the sticker. His customers were punctually sent their cars for servicing, particularly most of the female car owners.
The coffee shop, Peter asked “Why? You must be bullying your apprentice until they ran away!” The friend “No….. That stupid, useless, crazy boy stole my batteries! Five batteries was gone and the next days, he never come back for work and never come back to claim his salary as well” Peter “There was one boy and he was OK, why didn’t you encourage him to stay put”” His friend, the mechanic, Patrick “That boy was ok but I could not work with him” Peter held the cup of coffee near his month and freeze up the action of drinking and waiting for Patrick to continue, Patrick raised his voice lightly “ Working with me for two months, teaching him millions of time, he can’t even loosen the simple black engine oil compartment nuts for changing lubricating engine oil!” Peter smiled “Calm down, don’t get agitated, after all when you were apprentice, I believe, you would have be the same” Patrick Stared at Peter “Speak for yourself, not me!”
The workshop, Patrick was attending Peter’s car and Peter continued the unfinished subject of hired extra helper. Peter “There was another boy, he was a bit toasted, he should be ok” Patrick was underneath the car and answered “he was more than ok, he was a prodigy “He pulled out his lying position body and shown his head to Peter on the workshop floor and continued “Ten out of eleven cars he had tended, it gave more problems for me to rectify other than the original problems” Peter quipped “But why, he was ok and handy” Patrick “Yeah, I agreed totally, I needed not to teach him, he saw and he conquered” Patrick stood up “He was a bit lazy and impatience, so very often he would use his own way to do the repairing and it created more problems most of the time” Peter “You said most of the time?” Patrick “Yes, you heard right, some time his crazy methods was fast and good”
