News on the March: Hawk Ford in Oak Lawn, Illinois Is Awesome!

So as I mentioned, we ended up locked out of the car at the Petco yesterday when we went to pick up our new doggie. I think my AAA card has expired, and we were at least an hour from home with no one at hand to bring down the spare keys. What to do?

So, big pain in the ass averted on D-Day (doggie day).

I know that Googlebombing is supposed to have been algorithmically minimized, but let me just say this anyway, based on my own (admittedly non-customer) experience:
