My big screen TV died exactly two months after the warranty ended. Other than buying a new one, we want to responsibly recycle the broken TV. Online searches led us to here. I always have some hesitation coming to a private business such as this instead of, say, a King County transfer station. Will they have hidden fees, will they try to sell you something, will they point to a bin and tell us (not strong people) to fit it in somehow??? Well, let me tell you how EASY it was. We arrived and parked. We walked in and said we like to recycle a flat screen TV. He said, "No problem. I'll even help you unload." My jaw dropped a bit. We filled out a single line on a form. We opened the trunk. This taller and stronger than us guy singlehandedly took the TV out of our car, brought it inside, and gently placed it standing vertically on its edge in an open-top box lending against another big screen TV. That was it. Free! No cost! I was so shocked at how easy it was that I forgot to take any pictures. He was brilliant. Thank you!

I stopped in on a Tuesday morning around 9am, one person working the counter, at least three other booths empty, and two people standing in line. The the one employee that was on the floor was spending most of her time answering the phone, I felt really bad for her. I put my items back on the shelf and walked out, then came back at 11am and guess what? Still the same person working the counter, and four people in line. I put my items back on the shelf and informed another person looking at car detailing items that he would be standing in line for 1/2 hour if he wanted to by that item. I walked out, I don't need to put up with a franchise that can't keep employees. Qualified auto parts counter people are hard to come by and need to be paid accordingly, looks like the Mount Vernon O'Reilly Auto Parts doesn't understand that.

I suspected I was going to need a new battery, an expense my fixed income couldn't absorb. I've passed by Pac Power countless times over the decades but since they were close to an appointment I had I stopped in. Ryan checked the battery and found it tested good. He set me up with a pigtail to connect to a trickle charger for a lot less than a new battery that anyplace else would have happily tried to sell me. This job was a little bit of a PITA since the battery was under the rear seat. I'm grateful for businesses that operate like this. Their motto on their sign is more than an empty slogan; "Good people selling batteries...for everything"
