It was quite humorous finding, going to this car stereo place. I, I got lost getting there and then when I finally got there I drove by it. I drove right past it because I was looking at a picture on Google of the car stereo place and it had this like big neon sign that said like “Car Stereo and Accessories Sold Here,” or whatever, on the picture in Google. And so, I saw the building, I’m like, “That looks like the building I saw on Google.” But there was no sign. And so, I was like, “I guess this is not that building.” So I drove by it and then I’m like, “Wait no, that was the building.”
And I had to pull over and like look at a map and everything. And then I’m like, “Okay, that was the building. There just wasn’t, the sign wasn’t there.” And then I zoomed in on the Google picture, and it was like a totally photoshopped picture. That neon sign was not on the building. It was like somebody just typed it on there, or photoshopped it on there. So I’m like, “Oh, okay this is like back-alley.” And I, and I actua- — literally went into the back-alley and they were, there was like these guys out in the back, and they were like smoking weed. And they were just like staring at me as I pulled up. And I’m like, “Is this the car stereo place?” And they’re like, “Yeah? Do you have an appointment?” I’m like, “Yes?” And they’re like, “Oh okay. Well, just pull up front. Park in the front.”
So, I pulled up front and like, there’s no sign. There’s like a banner on the top of the building that just says, “Remote starters sold here.” And that’s like all it had. And then this guy comes out and he’s like, in totally dirty clothes. You know, it’s, he’s looking like a mechanic. And he smells like smoke and weed. And he’s like, “Oh hey!” I’m like, “Are you [name]?” And like yeah, that’s the guy I was with texting with.
And it was just a total back-alley operation. Like all the guys had like crazy hair and like dirty clothes and like all kinds of tattoos and it just seemed like, wow. It wasn’t like going to, you know, ABC Warehouse or something. It was, it was very back-alley. But, it doesn’t — I looked past all that and I wasn’t going to judge them. I was like, “Well, he sounded really professional on the phone and he really wants my business. So I’m gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.” And he was super sweet, super nice guy. And he talked to me a lot and he was really smil- — smiling and he just seemed like a really nice person. You know it could be just like a businessman’s facade. But, it was fine and you know he kept in contact with me very regularly. He called me like every day and texted me a lot and everything like letting me know everything and he was, he was great. Very professional.
