Random act of kindness covers woman's entire $527 auto repair



My car has been in the shop and a few things needed replacing. My mechanic (who is awesome btw) gave me a rough estimate of about $350. All said and done final cost was $527.

I went to pick up the car, and was handed the invoice.

Balance due?

ZERO!!!!!

He smiled and said, "Pay it forward."

I was in SHOCK.

He told me it was covered anonymously and no I couldn't ask questions!!

Before I could speak, he smiled and handed me the key and said, "Have an awesome day!"

I burst into tears. I went around the counter and gave him a HUGE hug!!!

Never in my life would I have expected this.
