Ok...so here's the thing about me and cars.....we ARE NOT friends.
There's not a single car on my friends list.
And that little orange light that comes on on my dash, strikes me like a bolt of lightning throwing me into a full blown panic attack.
Which is super fun when you are driving and far from home.
Today I was headed to Seattle for my daughter's surgery when that dreaded thing went on.
I had a fat panic attack, had to stress about it while I was down there, and on my way home.
Thankfully someone told me O'Reilly's will do a diagnostics test for free.
I stopped at the one in Lake Stevens, hobbled in on my pirate leg, and was welcomed by a very nice guy who grabbed his tester and ran out to my car.
He was VERY friendly and helpful, trying to make things easier for me and my leg.
My poor daughter was in the car drooling blood every where from having her wisdom teeth out, and he smiled and told her she looked fine.
He gave me the reading from the machine, explained to me what it meant, told me different options I had for taking care of it, and that it was nothing life threatening going on. That it would just cause my car to run less efficiently, as in getting worse gas mileage.
He let me know some times you can just get the piece cleaned, or you can get it replaced. He suggested Googling it and seeing who did what and for the best price.
I wish I would've gotten his name...but he was a life saver! Really...life saver...because I was about to die from my anxiety over that stupid orange light.
Anyway...I was in and out in less than 8 minutes ...with peace of mind....HUGE help!! read more
