Default Shout out to good mechanics

So, I took my bike into a dealership to do valve adjustments (I am a mechanical noob). They did it and got it back to me when they said they would, very quickly. BUT, when I got it back I noticed it had sprung a (small) oil leak. I called them, they gave me no %%%%, told me to bring it back.

So I did. They looked at what was going on, admitted a mistake, and fixed it immediately (took em a few hours to find the issue, which was a bolt hadn't been torqued correctly). I got a call that I could come pick it up. The apologized profusely for the inconvenience, and the mechanic who had handled it apologized personally. Very good experience for a cheap maintenance job.

So, this is a shout out to Triangle Cycles in Durham, NC. They do it right, and when they don't, they fix it. No BS. Everyone is human, at least they man up to it.
