I'd say a hearty "thank you, Don" is certainly in order. Maybe buy him breakfast or lunch sometime if he's in the neighborhood.

Heck, I call Don when my customers need HVAC stuff.

He's not the biggest HVAC company, but he IS the most honest that I have found in that business.

Look up "integrity" in the dictionary, there's Don's picture!

When I'm not in my truck, I'm driving a old, first-gen, four-banger Honda Odyssey mini-van.

It ain't very studly, but it'll haul a lot of tools if it has to.
