  I was on my way from Florida to Marquette Michigan, in a ‘93 Chevy pickup and broke down in Johnston City, Illinois. It was on a Saturday and Horn’s Automotive isn’t open on the weekends. I was stuck and figured I was gonna have to spend the weekend there so, I decided to call and leave s message for the owner alerting them to my situation and I was gonna get a AAA tow to the shop and would be there bright and early the following Monday.
  
  To my surprise, after only a few rings the phone was answered by a man and not a message machine... The owner, Mr.Tom Horn, answered the phone and told me he was only at the shop that day to catch up on some work. I told Tom my situation and asked if he minded if I were to get towed to his shop for the weekend and camped in my truck cap until he could get to the necessary repairs on Monday or Tuesday.
  
  Tom told me not to worry about doing that and if I didn’t mind waiting a few hours, he would drive over to where I was broken down and check out my truck and see if he could identify my problem and fix it so I could get back on the road that same day.
  
  I waited only an hour or so before Tom arrived, he was very kind and knowledgeable. Tom preformed am few diagnostics but needed to return to the shop to test a few things and grab another test kit. I waited a little while longer and Tom returned with his cousin, Brent and then they were able to identify my problem.
  
  As I was attempting to get my truck to start, Tom was able to identify a wire that was too close to my engine block and causing a short that wouldn’t allow my truck to kick off and start.
  
  It literally was so simple that a little bit of electrical tape and repositioning the wire was all that needed to be done to fix my truck and get me on my way.
  
  When I asked Tom what was the amount of my bill, he replied, pay me what you think it was worth...
  
  I was flabbergasted... here I was traveling across the country, broken down, little to no options, got a mechanic to come out on his day off, and now he says, to pay however much I feel is fair... Most mechanics would have gouged me for all I was worth but, not Tom Horn.
  
  I paid Tom all I could afford at that time, I wish I could have given him more too. You see, Tom did more than fix my truck that day, he forever touched my heart and help me remember that there are still good, honest, and caring people in this fast paced digital world.
  
  I can assure anyone who lives or is passing through Johnston City Illinois, Horn Automotive will treat you right and get your automobile back on the road for a fair and reasonable price. Tom Horn is one hell of a man and an excellent mechanic too!
  
  Thank you again, Tom Horn!
