Paul had cleared most of his tickets and was getting ready to send his troops home for a well-deserved rest. The shop is called Paoli Auto Repair and it sits near one of the original major highway routes in the United States Route 30 in a suburb of Philadelphia. It isn t fancy. It doesn t have a large waiting room, a marble floor or expensive artwork. What it has is a solid reputation for being one of the very best around.
Customers often ask for special treatment, just as they do in most shops.
But on this particular night, Paul was about to face a request that would bring him face to face with himself. Paul explained that the Cadillac s evaporator needed a serious repair. The man looked perplexed. At that time, the law wasn t clear on whether Paul could do that or not. But what was clear to him was that, according to the evidence, it would hurt the environment.
