Bill King’s Brake-O

I recall the ads from a time gone by, distant echos and the first search showed businesses in Dallas and Albuquerque. That fits my timeline.

The original

“If you brought your car in a five minutes to six, and it took and hour and half to fix, we will stay late….”

Here’s my deal, I sold liquor in Texas, in my formative stages. The state is very strict about when all alcohol has to be up and gone — usually nothing after 2:00 AM, with “bar time” running fifteen minutes fast to insure there is no problem. Despite the current quarantine and masked conditions, I’ve found my kind nature has been sorely tested, again and again.

I don’t run a shop like the old “Bill King Brake-O,” no, it’s by appointment, and right now, nothing starts after 4:00 PM (my time).

Day-ham, I sound cranky.

With the uncertainty of the current times, I find this very simple and straightforward. I book weeks to months out, for readings, and I’m available most afternoons, and I’ll book a reading, a phone consultation, when I get notice of payment.

It’s really simple. But it’s not like the old for Bill King’s Brake-O.
