Been a big O'Reilly's fan since the bama game in Atlanta

Car was overheating on the drive home from that game. Basically stranded on the side of the road on labor day Sunday in the middle of BFE South Carolina. No garages or rental car places open till Tuesday.

Limped to an oreilly and they suggested it could just be the thermostat. Guy there offered to look at it, confirmed it was the thermostat, and the replacement parts cost me $8.50. I asked if I could borrow the tools to replace it and guy said he had his toolbox in his truck. For $20 (cash) he'd do it for me.

For $28.50 I went from stranded to back on the road on a holiday Sunday.

O'Reilly's fan for life here.
