During our two months on the road，Bennett and I had a really 　36　 experience with a good，honest 　37　 and some helpful mechanics（机修师）.

We were driving east on Highway 10 when our “check engine” light came on. We limped（拐）off a（n）　38　 into Las Cruces. We had a real car 　39　.Bennett nursed the car into a local garage. By the time the car was missing（熄火）, it was shaking all over so 　40　.This was the 　41　 time to arrive at a garage―late Friday afternoon. Service adviser Scott was busy 　42　 paper work and customers as we 　43　 our problems.　44　 he was already “ten cars behind”，he told us to pull the car into the garage.

Lincoln，who we later 　45　 was one of the top motor technicians，took 　46　 of our car repairing. He and Scott and some other mechanics stayed several hours after closing，　47　 the car.

Early the next morning(the shop was officially closed on Saturdays)，Lincoln finally located the 　48　and fixed it easily within only 　49　.

Later Scott 　50　 out to us that it was our attitude that helped. “You didn’t come into the place demanding this or that. You showed an 51　of our problems on a busy Friday afternoon. Customer’s attitude means a lot.” He was right in some way，customers should show 　52　 and understanding to people who 　53　 them.　54　 people are extremely busy，they can find a way to at least try and help when they are met with politeness.

The pleasant experience I had shows that 　55　 for other people can always help.
