So much for vacation mode, huh? šš§
Around 7:30 last night, after we had officially wrapped up work, we got a call from a couple stranded at OāReillyās in York with a flat tire. They were in town for a funeral and were supposed to be heading back home to Virginia the next morning⦠which is pretty hard to do with a flat tire. š
They had a tire plug kit and a Halo tire inflator, but just needed an extra set of hands to figure it all out, so we hopped in the truck and headed over to help. We got the tire plugged, aired back up, and safely holding air long enough to get them through until they can stop in at a shop and get a new tire put on. (Also⦠that Halo worked like a charm. Highly recommend! šŖš»)
More than anything, we just had a really nice conversation with some genuinely kind people, and we were happy we could help make an already difficult trip a little less stressful for them. These are the moments that remind us how lucky we are to do what we do and be part of a community that continues to support and trust us. Sometimes itās not just about fixing vehicles⦠itās about showing up for people when they need a hand š§”
