I understood little more than that the person claimed to be a doctor. Did the doctor scribble a note that a transcriptionist could not read?
That is why I do not like long-distance numbers.
One lady contacted me through USAA and another through Craigslist. They seemed okay, but I have not heard back. One gentleman called (from a local number!) and asked where I had the work done. I told him that I replaced the head gasket myself. He asked if I was a mechanic and I said that I was not, but the estimates were expensive, so I did it myself.
"Thank you for the information. I will think about it and I might get back to you."
If someone asks me again, I will say something like "The car works perfectly and I would be happy to have the mechanic of your choice inspect it for you."
At least I should hopefully start my job soon.
Have any of you sold cars and had people not like that you did repairs yourself?
