"In regards to the report on ABC the Lookout on Able Auto Works:
"I want to offer a sincere apology for the way our customer was handled by my manager Mickey. As a small business owner, I have worked very hard to build my business and I value my reputation in the community. I expect all my employees to treat every customer with respect, courtesy and honesty. I was extremely disappointed to discover that my manager did not conduct business in a professional manner. In doing so, he has caused damage to the reputation of Able Auto Works as a company, and to all the other employees that provide quality service.
"My company will refund the entire charge for the service and I am taking extreme steps to discipline all employees involved, and also train all my employees in customer relations and ethics.
"As owner of Able Auto Works I will be vigilant to ensure that something like this never happens again. Maintaining the trust of our customers is the most important thing for me and I want to convey that the action of one individual does not reflect the honest work that we are known for in our community."
