Don't always count on big names or big name vendors. Most times your best reliance is from local merchants and or firms.
Example.
Had a sitch that required a locksmith in my area that would give a Veteran Aviator a break was near impossible. Every place I called no answer or a leave a dang number and message. Still by 22:30 hours I got an independent vendor to roll over here to the RX and in short order doors open reunited with the General JaXson and all be well. Which gave me access to my grub stash.
I called Hall's Lock and key I called Haffners Locksmiths no access or at least one that might do an emergency house or should I say office call. Nope. Finally got a guy in Buhl Idaho came over fixed everything and is now the one I will call if I need that kind of task done again.
Of course there is the condition of true 24 7 365 service. We in towing live for 24 7 365. In fact we thrive on it. What would happen do you think would happen if the dorks at all those I called prior to One Up in Buhl, called for a toew truck and only got some fartknocker answering service or voice mail? Made a pending client wait for several hours or not even get a ETA? Either they would call someone else or not call again. That goes for property owners as well.
Shady outfits aside a toew service or flying service is only as good as the next toew or air Ambulance run. Screw someone in the phanny and I will guarantee they won't be a repeat caller. Just won't happen. My advice? Deal local not some out in outer space corporate outfit.
Same thing with banks and other vendors. Deal local.
