Taking Customer Service to the Extreme

This weekend was a busy one for Factory Five. While most folks are enjoying the Columbus Day weekend, the crew at Factory Five were spread around the country working hard. None more than our own Dan Golub who worked here on Saturday doing tours. When I found out what Dan had done for a customer, I was filled with pride and wanted to share the story with you guys.

On Saturday afternoon, Factory Five customer Kenneth H. and his wife Kerri were visiting from Oakland, New Jersey in a Factory Five Mk2 that they had just purchased. Just before leaving and heading home, the engine sprung a coolant leak from between the timing cover and the block. With no shops in the area open over the holiday weekend, Dan had Ken and his wife follow him home where he proceeded to spend the next 8 hours fixing Ken's car so that they could get back on the road.

A lot of people comment that the Factory Five family is special and that the community is close knit. That fellowship and closeness begins here at the factory. Thanks Dan for helping Ken and Kerri H. and for showing the heart and soul of Factory Five.

Eight hours to pull a timing cover and water pump? Was he charging by the hour? :p

Seriously though, good on him for having them fixed up and back on the road home. You've got some good people there Dave!

It really only took me 5 hours to do the job, but we had to run to Lowe's for a longer bolt (the first few threads on one of the lower bolt holes came out) and go to Autozone a few times for random things that I forgot the first time. So overall it took 8 hours, but I was just happy to help out a FFR in need.

Thanks

I think that pretty much says it all! I am a firm believer that what ever you send out, is what will likely come back to you.

Back in October 2009, my wife and I spent a weekend in Boston, and was able to make the trip down to Wareham to "tour" the factory. Dan was the person who took time out of his morning to talk to us and answer our questions about the various car kits. What struck me most about him was that he seemed to have the same enthusiasm and passion that Dave Smith shows everyone. (I know it's hard to imagine that anyone else can get that pumped up...)


Nice job Dan.
