Earlier this month, Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis received an email from Alyce DeGennaro, who recently had a member of the dealership come to her rescue.

On a rainy and foggy day, Alyce was driving her 87-year-old father from the Eastern Shore to BWI Airport when her vehicle got a flat tire in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. She was able to get to the other side of the bridge before it blew out. While on the phone with AAA, a Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis 24-hour roadside assistance car pulled up in front of her. Without hesitation, Joe Adkins got out and changed Alyce’s tire — and refused to accept the money Alyce offered in return for his act of kindness.

Joe’s generosity allowed Alyce and her father to get to the airport with time to spare. She has graciously asked to make a donation to a charity of Joe’s choice and has described him as an “angel.”

As if one such act isn’t enough, in November Joe helped out another driver who was stranded at the foot of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. The motorist posted a heartfelt message thanking Joe on Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis’ Facebook page.

Stories like this one make the holiday season even more special. Thanks to Joe for continuing to be such a tremendous representative of MileOne!
