That’s the 57th car that has slowly driven by since lunch, Daddy. That radio commercial with me singin’ must really be working.” Amanda was beaming.
“I do believe we have a hit, honey.” Dad tousled the curly hair atop his daughter’s head. “What’a you think, Charlotte?”
“You nailed the commercial, but you ain’t gonna make any money with slow drivers that stare.
“So Miss All-knowing, what’a you think we need to do?”
“Well, maybe having the jingle was money well spent, but a lot could be said for improving the curb appeal of this place.”
Written for Friday Fictioneers.

They would have to have a friend- trusted as a reference before I would give that place a try simply because of a radio ‘jingle’.

I think Charlotte knows of what she speaks! Unless a friend told me to go there and trust them, no way in hell I would!

I like the word choices in your story. It’s been so long since being delighted by the word, “touseled.” The challenges of being an entrepreneur never end…

A shiny surface means mechanics don’t have work to do… hence the assumption that they can’t fix cars. Give me an old grungy garage with a mech who knows what he’s doing any day. Great story! Merry Christmas!

A jingle goes a long way, but curb appeal even more! Good one, Roger.
