My husband, Matthew, and I had dropped off our truck for an oil change a couple hours earlier. We\u2019d made an appointment with <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/people-helping-people\/god-led-her-to-open-a-non-profit-repair-shop-for-low-income-drivers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our usual mechanic<\/a>, Randy, and decided on using synthetic oil, which requires a change every 5,000 miles, as opposed to 3,000 miles for regular oil. Though synthetic oil was the more expensive option, it seemed like a good investment considering how much we traveled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of my guys put in the wrong oil,\u201d Randy explained. He\u2019d been out of the garage for a test drive and left our oil change to one of his employees. The other mechanic had put in the usual oil\u2014the standard blend. \u201cNow you have a choice,\u201d Randy said. \u201cWe can drain the engine and put in the synthetic blend. Or you can leave it as is. You won\u2019t be charged since it was <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/daily-devotions\/devotions-for-inspiration\/a-fresh-look-at-mistakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our mistake<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Matthew and I decided to leave things alone. Draining the engine seemed like a waste. We could always get the synthetic oil blend the next time around. But we did insist on paying for the work\u2014it had been an <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/the-beauty-in-mistakes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">honest mistake<\/a> after all.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew and I didn\u2019t think about the oil change until a few months later. We were making plans to drive from South Carolina, up through the mountains of West Virginia, to visit my uncle in Maryland. It was a long trip, and we\u2019d already put 2,650 miles on the truck since our last oil change, so we wanted Randy to change the oil early.<\/p>\n<p>We dropped off the truck before lunch and asked Randy to check things over for us, just to make sure we were good to go on our trip.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d barely sat down to eat when my phone rang. It was Randy. \u201cYour brakes are completely shot,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m surprised they lasted the drive over here. You\u2019ll need to replace them immediately.\u201d Luckily, he had the parts on hand. We gave him the go-ahead and hung up.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew and I stared at each other in disbelief. If the correct oil had been put in a few months ago, we wouldn\u2019t have gone back to the mechanic so soon. We wouldn\u2019t have known the brakes were bad. Who knows what could have happened, especially on those mountain roads? Well, someone did.
