mechanic to avoid: Mobil station in WP, NY

Despite explicit instructions to leave my car locked, I watched the monkey
lad from the ATM across the street unlock the car, roll down the window,
and leave the keys in the ignition.

The kicker was that a tanker was parked between my car(almost on the
street) and the station building.  Someone could have waltzed up, got in,
drove off, and they wouldn't have known for about an hour or so.

The shop name is Celestino's Service Station; the manager(who was quite
rude when I came back and complained), is Greg.  The monkey lad, when I stated
that the car had "permanent all wheel drive that cannot be disengaged,
and cannot be put on a 2-wheel dyno for emissions testing", said "yhea
yhea, the guy back there knows."  Hmm, that inspires confidence.

Steer clear.
