Aiea, HI ("Pearlridge")
SAMSON at Lex Brodie Aiea is AMAZING, CUSTOMER FOCUSED and PROFESSIONAL!!! I would be remiss if I did not stop to take the time to write a review that I should have completed in November 2022. I apologize for waiting so long to write this review until now. I came by Lex Brodie Aiea late at the end of the work day with a 3 inch nail angled in a weird way in my tire. I had just got off work and noticed the nail and was flabbergasted because I was not sure how the nail ended up in my tire from where I was legally parked on the military installation where I work. I was very tired when I got off work and was not expecting to be faced with a nail sticking out of my tire. It was weird because the tire was not yet flat and a military Captain passing by saw the tire and advised me not to remove it and to drive slowly to the nearest tire repair shop. I first stopped at a well known tire shop right outside the base with no success as they stated the tire could not be repaired and that they had multiple cars ahead of me and would not be able to replace it that late afternoon. I prayed and Almighty God placed it on my heart to go to Lex Brodie. It was already after 4:30 pm but I trust Almighty God, called the Lex Brodie Aiea to let them know I was headed that way and the Receptionist over the phone was very responsive, pleasant and told me to come on by. I arrived thinking that because it was the end of the work day, my car would have to stay overnight to access and hopefully repair the tire. Almighty God blessed me with Samson as he smiled and said he would like to first see the tire and provided advisement on costs should the tire need to be replaced or repaired. After speaking with me Samson asked me to have a seat in the waiting area and about 15 minutes later, he called me over to the counter and said he was done and the tire was fine and did not need to be repaired or replaced! I was like what??? He stated there was not damage to the tire and no repairs or replacement necessary. I looked at Samson and the Receptionist and said, "Almighty God is so good to me!!! This is a miracle!!! Thank You, Jesus!!! Almighty God is so good to me!!! Samson, Thank you, so much for your assistance!" I then asked if I could leave a Tip to bless him and the Receptionist or if I could speak with the supervisor to tell him or her of my appreciation for the service and Samson just smiled and said it was fine and that he was glad to help. The Receptionist stated that monetary tips were not accepted but that I could leave a review on Yelp and that the supervisor would see it and usually buys a plate lunch for the employee being recognized. I thanked her and stated I would write a review. Again, I apologize for my tardiness in leaving the review. One of my nieces shared with me not long ago that Yelp reviews are very important to the company and/or their employee(s) being recognized as well as to future, potential customers. My niece encouraged me to share my experience. "Mahalo nui," to Lex Brodie's Tire, Brake & Service Company - Aiea, for the exceptional service provided by Samson and the kind demeanor of the Receptionist! Warmest Aloha!!!
