Wow, I just realized mine smells like permanent french fries!

Man, that's a rough situation but honestly... I'm surprised you didn't have a backup plan already. Relying on a random shop is a huge gamble. What if they'd said no? You're really lucky it worked out, but counting on luck isn't a business plan. You need your own backup vehicle or a formal agreement with another service, not just a hope and a prayer.

Oh man, my buddy found something way deeper last year.
