Why I Like the Small Town

Obviously, there are reasons why small communities have their drawback, such as alot of times people try to stick their noses in other people's business, which does indeed get annoying. But my story today is a good reason why I do like the small town.

As many of you know, I have a different automobile then I started 2009 with. I've had it since January, and my 3,000 miles on the oil is here, so it's due for an oil change. I have changed my own oil every time in all of my previous vehicles except for once when I was out in Minneapolis and couldn't make it home for quite a while, and had to pay to have it done. That only happened once for obvious reasons. I made it a point after that to do it myself. So, now it's time to relearn how to do this with a new car. First step, make sure that when I get home, I've got an oil filter to put in. So, I called the trusty Car Quest in Huron to check and see which filter I needed. It should be noted that my dad maybe can't make a trip to Huron without stopping at Car Quest for some reason, and naturally, with good service, that's where I do my parts buying too whenever possible. So I called today, and got Bob. I asked Bob to check on an oil filter for my 2004 Grand Prix. So I can hear Bob enter the number into the computer, and pretty soon he gets the result. "Ok Tyler, the part number you need is 85040, and your dad has lots of them!" When your parts store managers know exactly what your dad has in his shop for oil filters, you know your at the right place!
