I was having a donut and coffee at Washington Sq. Park this morning and while looking at two little squirrels frolicking, I saw the people above walking around making a ruckus.
Maybe I’m an opportunist, but I loved to take my old car for repairs to Willets Point. I used to have a 1989 Ford Probe and it was my favorite car ever. It had awesome gas mileage, it was stick shift and it was not pretentious. It was just a little old american car to take me from point A to point B.
When my little car used to brake down or was in need of repair, I would tend not to take it to regular mechanic shops. I used to take my car to Willets point for repair. Why would I do such a thing you ask? Because it cheaper and faster.
Take my radiator for instance; while a regular mechanic shop would take at least 2 days and around $400 for a repair, Willets Point Shops would have my car ready in the matter of hours and for a mere $100 in labor and parts. How did they do this you say? well they take parts from broken down cars that are still good and sell them for a small percentage, they really just make their money off from the labor work they do. And why would my little car need a brand new radiator anyway? It doesn’t. The cost of taking the car to a regular shop would have been almost the cost of the car.
With that said, New York City’s economy and surrounding cities need placed like Willets Point for people who don’t need a brand new radiator, wheel/rims, windshield, random body part or some random car addition.
