1 week before Thanksgiving I realized I had to have the rear hatch on my 1999 Outback repaired before leaving NYC to spend the holiday helping my mom move things between storage units in Maryland. Of course the service schedule was full when I called on Friday. So Monday morning I was there 8am, begged for service by Wednesday, and was accepted. The work was finished as promised on Tuesday, including new windshield wipers. I picked the car up 11am Wednesday and got to Mom's 4pm as promised, just avoiding the worst of the holiday traffic. On Thanksgiving my son-in-law was called back to work in New Jersey (he's in the Coast Guard) but because my car was repaired, I was able to offer my daughter and her kids transport back to New Jersey on Saturday as originally planned. So my son-in-law was able to go back to work Thursday night, my sister and I got my Mom's storage move complete Friday, and Saturday I got to spend 2 hours at a trampoline park with my daughter and grandkids before taking them home Saturday afternoon. That evening I completed the journey back to NYC safely despite driving rain the whole way, thanks to my brand new windshield wipers and my perfectly maintained Outback. Thank you Bayridge Subaru for saving my family holiday!
