6. March Client of the Month: Lucille Cairns
Lucille Carins has led an interesting life. In the past, she’s done
modeling and was accepted into the Julliard music program for her
vocal and piano talent. Unfortunately, a bout with polio the summer
after graduating from high school prevented her from attending.
“I am a people person,” Lucille said. “My mother always told me I was
born with the Salvation Army bell in my hand.”
Lucille is most passionate about her family. She raised four children
and now is blessed with seven grandchildren who call her “Lulu”.
“My children have done quite well,” Lucille said proudly.
Lucille has lived twelve happy years here in Venice.
“I was reluctant to come here initially because I love Chicago,” Lucille
admitted. “My husband retired early and we started out having two
homes, one in Chicago and one in Venice. Now we reside in Venice
permanently.”
“Venice has it’s own charm,” said Lucille. “I love our particular housing development, Sawgrass. At the
time we moved there it was just getting developed.”
Lucille enjoys filling her days with volunteering in the community (she has been known to play the piano
in nursing homes), playing tennis, shopping, going to the beach, spending time with her grandchildren
who visit every winter, and traveling with her husband.
“We travel a lot and we love to cruise,” Lucille said. “For our 50th wedding anniversary, we took our
entire family on a two week trip to Scotland.”
Lucille has been a loyal customer of 1 Stop Car and Truck Repair since purchasing an emerald green
Mazda Miata in 2001.
“1 Stop kept my Miata in tip-­‐top condition,” said Lucille. “Everyone wanted to buy my car. It was in great
shape, thanks to 1 Stop.”
Lucille was involved in a car accident, which totaled her beloved Miata. Thankfully she was unharmed.
She replaced her Miata with a Pontiac G6 convertible.
“To give you an idea of how much I trust 1 Stop, when
my Pontiac was leaking transmission fluid, I brought it
in to 1 Stop, not the GM dealership,” Lucille explained.
“The dealership would’ve done the work for free
under warranty, but I trust my cars to 1 Stop so I paid
for them to fix this issue.”
Lucille continually refers customers to 1 Stop Car and
Truck repair.
“A good mechanic and a good doctor is always hard to find,” said Lucille. “I’ve found my good mechanic!”
“1 Stop is great,” raves Lucille. “They’re personable, they’re always smiling and they’re definitely
customer-­‐friendly, which means a lot. They’ve taken the time to get to know me.”
