It has been a while that my license plate has been a bit too loose on my car. I've tried and tried to get it tightened up, however, it just hasn't worked. So, today, I went through a carwash - you guessed it, the license plate finally came completely off and was completely resistant to everything I tried to get things resolved. I really didn't want to drive around without it attached - even though I was able to retrieve it from the fine folks at Crew - but I was clueless how to resolve it.
On the way home from Crew, I stopped at this Fishers location of AutoZone, an auto parts and supplies shot located right next to Pep Boys.
There's accessible parking almost directly in front of the store. There's a nice ramp. The manual glass doors were pretty easy. I looked around and figured I was likely looking for a new frame/plate holder and maybe some new screws since everything on my end was rusted.
I'll admit this should have been basic, but I hated the idea of spending money without being sure. I finally got up the nerve to ask someone (whose name I never got). He suggested a new frame. I paid. He went above and beyond by helping me get things attached, though ultimately decided a couple new screws were needed. He also helped me with those. By the time I left, my plate was once again securely attached and I was once again on the road with the plate in place.
This was simple, of course. But, it was a pretty big deal to me and I definitely needed help with it. AutoZone made my life a lot easier and solved a problem in a matter of minutes for a very fair price.
I don't really have a mechanical bone in my body - this wasn't particularly mechanical, however, it definitely didn't go with my skill set. I was grateful for the assistance and for being back on the road. I do wish they'd had some more attractive plate holders, however, I got what I needed and am definitely not complaining.
Bravo, AutoZone. read more
