Default Gift for a Land Rover Mechanic?

My service advisor at my local Land Rover dealership just gave me a FREE set of Emu 2" springs. He just had them at home and I mentioned that I wanted to do a modist lift, just to get to those remote camp sites. He's like "Hey, I've got some old man emu springs in my garage at home, you already have the Emu shocks. If you want them they are yours" I tried to give him money for them but he refused. I'd like to get him a "gift" of some sort. The guy is a Landrover mechanic and works at the dealership... so some Landrover gear, I don't think is going to cut it. Any ideas?

Brian

Thats an AWESOME idea! The only problem is I'd still be sitting on stock springs and air bags(welcome to square one). You are welcome to the old stock springs. I think the gift card is a great idea though. What gift card, is the next question.

When I was a dealership service advisor, I was the only one in the store who had an active Snap-On account. It might not be something he needs or wants.

I'd think that a gift cert to a nice restaurant in the amount of about half what the springs would cost would be a nice gift and fair to both of you.

I sure wish I'd had clients like you when I was a service advisor!

I thought you wanted to thank him not poison him! Both the above beers are, to be frank, foul.

More or less anything by Shepherd Neame is going to be a good bet: http://www.shepherd-neame.co.uk/

Black Sheep Brewery is another good un: http://www.blacksheepbrewery.com/

St. Peters Ales (avoid the 'Fruit Beers') http://www.stpetersbrewery.co.uk/

Fullers (their Porter isn't bad, Discovery is superb) http://www.fullers.co.uk/rte.asp?id=9

Cheers,
