Hey, it's Larry McFeely here with Wayne from Amco. And Wayne, now that it's getting warmer, I turned on the AC in my car and the air's blowing kind of cool, but it really smells like a basement. What can I do about that, Larry? Your car's AC system should be checked and serviced every year. Plus, replacing the cabin air filter helps the air blow strong and takes away any nasty smell. Nice. Is that a big deal to get done? Not at all. It takes about an hour and in most cases, we can do it while you wait. That's awesome. I'll say we're Amco. Google Amco for your nearest location. That's Amco double A MCO transmissions and a whole lot more home birds. Morgan, morning sickness. Let's try another one here. Benjamin Franklin once said, diligence is the mother blank of good luck.
