Michael Ray, the quintessential auto body man.

What does quintessential mean? The dictionary definition of the word is representing the most perfect or typical example of a quality or class. That describes Michael Ray.

On Christmas Eve Eve I delivered my poor beat up junker of a car to Michael. On Christmas Eve afternoon (a day and half later, yesterday) I picked up a shiny beautiful car. Michael had made two major repairs and two minor repairs to the body.

Before Michael.

After Michael.

These pictures are of one ding. Michael repaired four dings. All four of these dings were the fault of the driver. I am going to be more careful. Michael covered the repairs with beautiful paint jobs. The car had been detailed. My heart swelled with pride as I proudly drove the car home. 

I do not know how he did so much beautiful work in such a short time. But he did. Thank you Michael! This work would normally have cost me several thousand dollars. I tried to give Michael several hundred. He said no charge! I will have to buy Michael a present. I know. I will buy him a nice dog. He does not have one and his wife has six!

Merry Christmas to Michael Ray and his wonderful wife, Rhonda Michelle Blakley Ray.
