Local Mechanic Becomes Most Reputable in Charlotte (Just Released, Read the Reviews)

2009-11-11T08:07:04-05:00

For Immediate Release
November 4, 2009

Twin Automotive & Transmission has become the auto repair specialist of Charlotte and surrounding areas. Although this small business is based out of Indian Trail, that does not stop car owners from visiting this repair shop from all over Charlotte. Twin Automotive offers Free Towing on most repairs, which assists Charlotte car owners in having their car repaired at this local automotive shop.

These professionals are breaking out of the mechanic stereotype with their clean, family friendly storefront and professional appearance. Twin Automotive belives in not trying to upsell their customers. "It doesn't matter if the customer is coming in for a $15 oil change or a transmission rebuild, we treat everyone the same," The owner, Paul, explains, "We do not repair something if it does not need to be repaired -- I believe in not upselling any customers for repairs that are not needed because I want them to keep coming back. I believe in establishing a lifelong relationship with every customer that walks in my door."

Unlike other auto repair shops, Twin Automotive has taken advantage of all social networking websites and even has plans to begin a blog online to keep in touch with previous customers. Videos of transmission rebuilds, from start to finish, can be seen on their website (www.twincharlotte.com).

Truely, Twin Automotive is becoming the only mechanic you will ever need by their honesty and professionalism. Is your check engine light on? Twin Automotive will check it for free. Need an oil change? Twin Automotive offers a $15 oil change that includes an all point inspection.

Re: Parents of elementary school (Waxhaw)

2009-10-23T06:14:47-04:00

I'm sorry this had to happen to you. And thank you for alerting the public--but you never gave you father's name! If he is living next to an elementary school and is truly a pedophile, the proper authorities need to be alerted and you have an obligation to alert the school's principal. I had a convicted sex offender living in my neighborhood in North Charlotte several years ago (this creep was renting a room from one of our neighbors and had served 20 months for Taking Indecent Liberties with a Minor). He was in violation of his probation by living within spitting distance of an elementary school. I alerted the principal, the police, and made photocopies of his mug shot and wrap sheet and distributed them around the neighborhood. He moved out shortly when a group of fathers began "jogging" past his home on a daily basis and just standing in front of the home. The neighborhood police officers also would park in front and do their paperwork. The creep got the message

They let that monster out???

2009-10-20T01:41:05-04:00

MONROE � A man convicted of murder will be given a new trial, but he will not be freed unless he can meet the $500,000 bond set this week.

Mark Stephen Thomas, 26, of 115 South Fork Road, Indian Trail, was convicted of second-degree murder on Oct. 1, 2007. Thomas was accused of killing Christopher John Brynarsky at his auto-repair shop, Union County Customs, on Oct. 11, 2006.

On Jan. 12, 2009, the N.C. Court of Appeals determined that the defense should have been allowed a peremptory challenge for a juror who contacted the District Attorney�s Office. A peremptory challenge allows an attorney to reject a juror without cause; a defendant is allowed six such challenges and Thomas� attorney, John Painter, used only five.

When the defense learned of a juror contacting the District Attorney�s Office, Painter challenged the juror for cause, but the court determined a potential relationship was not a strong enough reason to reject the juror. Painter asked to use the defense�s final peremptory challenge, but was denied.

The Court of Appeals found that a peremptory challenge should have been allowed.

Thomas has been serving a 12- to 15-year sentence since Oct. 2, 2007. A new trial date has not been set, but Thomas received a new bond of $500,000 on Tuesday. If he posts the bond, he will be released from jail. As of Thursday afternoon, he had not posted bond.

In the 2007 trial, Thomas testified that he paid Brynarsky about $6,500 in advance and provided parts for repair on his Toyota MR2. The work was supposed to be completed in about four weeks. Thomas said he went to the shop frequently for the next 12 months before Brynarsky told Thomas on the morning of Oct. 11, 2006, that he would not work on the car anymore.

Thomas said he went to the shop to get his parts and was threatened by Brynarsky. Thomas testified that Brynarsky got a shotgun out of a tool box. Thomas testified that he took a handgun to the shop and fired two shots into the roof. Brynarsky aimed his shotgun at Thomas, Thomas said, and Thomas shot Brynarsky. During the trial he claimed self defense.

RECENT COMMENT:
"I have never seen a school that is so loved by a community, it's teachers and students. Highland Creek is truly a "neighborhood" school. Everyone helps, everyone cares and works together to succeed. This is truly a model school. The children are well behaved and excited to learn. The teachers are kind, thoughtful and dedicated. Parents are always encouraged to get involved. As a unit, we work together, go that extra mile and success is our reward. There is a pride about being there that is infectious. " Lori Kennedy

U.S. Govt. Will Collapse, Plans to Keep Social Security When it Does

2009-10-13T07:15:20-04:00

The accumulated federal budget deficit for the United States is something like twelve or fourteen trillion dollars. ($12,000,000,000,000).

There is no way that the American people, those who actually work and pay taxes, can pay off a debt burden like that.

Social Security Laws in the Bible

Did you know that the Holy Bible has many laws safeguarding widows and the elderly? It does. Look at the above easy-to-read page and see for yourself.

You might ask yourself why are these churches around town not telling you about the good laws like the ones about social security in the Holy Bible.
