This morning my truck broke down right in front of Ben's Tire & Auto Repair and I thought I was stuck. Walked into this shop and told them what happened. A gentleman by the name of Randy came to my rescue. I had no money and he didn't even hesitate to help me. He got my truck fixed and I was finally able to make it home. Thank you so much, Randy!! You are a lifesaver!!
