Bakers
by Mike on Aug.17, 2010, under Exceptional Service
Well came back from the road trip through BC to have several loads of wash to do. Started wash last Friday only to have our washing machine pack it in, on the first load. So out we went to look for a washing machine. After another stop we ended up at Bakers. We have dealt with them before and have always been impressed with the service. In fact we were in last month looking at dishwashers as ours didn’t seem to be working right only to have them tell us that if we added some salt to the dishwasher it would clean better ~ right they were a tablespoon of salt and dishes look much better (has to do with removing phosphates from the dish detergent).
Found out that a front load was not good for us and they showed us a machine that was half the price of what the front load was that we were looking at. Add to that they included a dryer for very little more and I was very happy. To top it off they had it delivered by 4pm and installed (we never bought it till 1) and I was a very happy person.
GREAT job Bakers! Prices were great, sales and delivery/ install service was fantastic and after 6 loads of wash I am now ready to hit the road again.
Altra Battery

If you have taken any of my courses you would hear me talk about Altra Battery on 3 Ave S in Lethbridge. If you need any battery they will have it, know where to get it, or tell you if there is a better choice to use. I have bought many batteries from them for my vehicles, camper, cameras, phones and more. I have never once stumped them when asking a question and have gotten some GREAT information (yes I did check it out with others).
One time I had a flash battery pack rebuilt. Was done the same day and the cost was a quarter of what the manufacture wanted to do the same thing.
They may not be the most normal people working there, but I would say they are the best for batteries at GREAT prices!
Napa Coaldale

I have gone to NAPA in Coaldale for years, it seems to be one of those places that driving out of the way for is well worth it. The service is great, the help that you get is first rate and every time I have shown up there I have been treated VERY well. I have come in with many questions and each time left with some great ideas to help me solve any problems or ideas for projects that I have been working on. The last time I stopped in I needed a couple items, told the guy behind the counter what I was looking for and in a couple minutes had everything that I needed.
One of the things that I really like is that I am told the truth when looking for things, sometimes it is not what I want to hear (this is going to cost this much $), but when I have checked it out with others the price has been fair and the information accurate.
Over the years I would say that the service is a steady 10 out of ten. Way to go!
Burger King 3 Ave
by Mike on Feb.18, 2010, under Exceptional Service
This is one of those businesses that you would never expect to get exceptional service at as it is a fast food place, but for a number of years each time I have gone there, day or night, I have gotten very pleasant staff and staff that seemed to actually care. So many times I have gone to fast food places that treated me like I was interfering with the staffs social life that it is a pleasure to go some place that treats customers like they are customers and not the enemy.
I would say that over the years they have scored a easy 9 out of 10 and many times it is a 10!
Silver Automotive
by Mike on Feb.18, 2010, under Exceptional Service
Well I have to start my list of exceptional service with a company that I just dealt with yesterday and I was very impressed with.
Came to Silver for some truck parts and the entire staff was busy, I was acknowledged not once but three times by the staff that were on the phone that someone would be right with me, a great thing to do as you never know at many stores if someone saw you or if they were ignoring you. Within a minute someone was with me and was more than helpful with getting the parts that I needed. Each time someone talked to me it was a very pleasant “Yes, sir”. Everyone spoke clearly and looked at me when they spoke which made me feel as if they actually wanted me at the store.
I would have to say if I rated the service on a scale of 1 to 10 that they would easily get a 10!
Way to go!!!
