Hope in the Storm
Dr. Lloyd Harsch had lived in New Orleans for years teaching
at the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He had also
weathered the many storms and hurricanes that often pounded the
shores of the Crescent City. So when Hurricane Katrina headed
towards the coast, Lloyd packed up his family and a few supplies
in their van, thinking they would only be evacuating their home
for a couple of days, a week at the most. They would soon
realize that was a gross underestimate.
Katrina soon broke through the city's protective levies flooding
its streets and houses, including the Harsch's home. Everything
that they had left behind was lost. In the storm's aftermath,
they decided to relocate to Fort Worth, Texas, where they
already had some connections.
However, in the rush to get out of town, Lloyd had removed a
bench seat from his van. This seat and their second car along with
all their other possessions were destroyed in Katrina's wake.
This
left them in Texas with a van without a bench seat - which did not fit their
needs. So Lloyd called his friend Rod Sanders, CEO of Sidco,
about buying a van. "In no time a Grand Caravan was
located and in great condition," said Lloyd.
The Harschs were very pleased with the friendly service and high
quality vehicle Sidco located, purchased, reconditioned and
delivered. But only nine days after the Harschs drove away in
their Grand Caravan, the unthinkable happened.
His wife, Jill was rear-ended in an accident which landed her in
the hospital with minor injuries, but had totaled the van. Once
again, they were left without suitable transportation. They had
received such great service from Sidco with the purchase of
their first van that they decided to see if another van could be
located. It was.
"Within
a week, Sidco had found another Grand Caravan and with fewer
miles than the first one!" Lloyd said. Not only that, they got
such a great price on the first van that the insurance money
from the accident covered 100% of the more expensive second van.
It was an answer to prayer, and the Harschs could not be happier
with their Sidco experience.
According to Dr. Harsch, "Sidco has been great to work
with. They get great cars at low prices and provide expert
service. We would highly recommend Sidco!"
